Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make an encapsulating material reworkable for permitting respective devices to be repaired and replaced under the environment of integrated circuit assembly, by making the encapsulating material contain a thermoplastic polymer, which is formed adjacent to solder bonding and composed of ring- opening polymerization of ring oligomer. SOLUTION: An ring oligomer in an encapsulating material forms a thermally stable polymer, which is properly formed upon application at a region applied by ring-opening polymerization. Therefore, the encapsulating material can be simply melted adjacent to a chip from a hotmelt and can be flowed into an assembly by capillary action. The encapsulating material can be reworked by simply concentrating heat on a specific device, heating the thermoplastic polymer to a temperature above its melting temperature Tg and by melting solder. Then, the chip can be removed from a board. The normal reworking temperature is within a range of approximately 250-400°C. COPYRIGHT: (C)1999,JPO

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce required drive current and power consumption for the device, by laying interconnecting metal circuit lines on a substrate and disposing a specified dielectric material adjacent to the circuit lines. SOLUTION: The device comprises a substrate 2, meal circuit lines 4' and a dielectric material 6. The substrate 2 has vertical studs 8 formed therein. The dielectric material 6 in an org. polysilica, pref. a reaction product with polyaminate, having a terminal group (RO)m (R'')n SiR'-; m=1, 2 or 3, m+n=3, R and R' are hydrocarbyl group, R'' is hydride or hydrocarbyl group. The terminal group is a mono-, di- or tri-C1-C10 alkoxysilyl C1-10 alkyl or aryl group. This lowers the dielectric const. of the inserted dielectric material to allow the circuit line spacing to be reduced, without increasing the crosstalk or capacitive coupling, and also reduces the drive current and power consumption.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an integrated circuit device having a low dielectric constant by forming a dielectric material containing hardened polyamic acid ester adjacently to metallic circuit wiring for interconnection on a substrate. SOLUTION: Metallic circuit wiring 4 and a dielectric material 6 are provided on the surface of a substrate 2 and vertical metallic studs 8 are provided in the substrate 2. The material 6 which is put on, around, and/or between the wiring 4 is constituted of imidized polyamic acid ester, containing (RO)m (R")n SiR' as an end group, where m, n, R and R', and R" respectively represent 1, 2, or 3, m+n=3, hydrocarbyl groups, and a hydride or hydrocarbyl group. This dielectric composition presents a low coefficient of thermal expansion of 1000×10 at a high temperature. Therefore, an integrated circuit element having a high mechanical characteristic, a high frictional characteristic, a highly uniform optical characteristics, and a high dielectric characteristic can be obtained, because the cracking of films can be avoided during succeeding heat treatment processes.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an improved electric field luminescent element by containing a luminescent composition including a charge carrier polymer, a negative ion, and a positive ion between first and second electrodes. SOLUTION: This luminescent element is located between a non-translucent electrode 4 and a translucent electrode 6 and contains a luminescent composition 2 into contact with these electrodes 4 and 6. This element is supported on a glass base 8, when a voltage is applied to the electrodes 4 and 6 light is emitted from a composition 2 and radiated from the element through the electrode 6 and the base 8. This composition 2 contains a charge carrier polymer and a salt including negative and positive ions. The positive and negative ions are fixed in a polymer matrix during manufacturing of the element, provided with non-uniform space distribution in the composition 2, and forms a constant density gradient at each electrode, however, a negative ion density is higher at the electrode 4, and a positive ion density is higher at the electrode 6. Since non- uniform distribution of ions in the polymer matrix is fixed, the element can emit light within 10 milliseconds after a voltage is applied to the electrodes 4 and 6.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a porous dielectric material used in electronic devices such as integrated circuits. SOLUTION: Crosslinked particles are manufactured by activating crosslinkable groups in synthetic polymer molecules. The crosslinkable groups are inert until activated and, when activated, undergo an irreversible intramolecular crosslinking reaction to form crosslinked particles. Further, the crosslinked particles are intermolecularly deactivated to the polymer molecules under the crosslinking condition. The crosslinked particles are also intermolecularly deactivated each other under the crosslinking condition. The resultant crosslinked particles having the decomposition temperature lower than that of the host-matrix material is mixed with the host-matrix material, heated up to the decomposition temperature of the crosslinked particle to irreversibly decompose the particles into the porous dielectric material.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a porous dielectric material applicable to electronic devices such as integrated circuits. SOLUTION: Crosslinked particles are produced by activating the crosslinkable groups on synthetic polymer. The crosslinkable groups are inert until activated and, when activated, undergo an irreversible intramolecular crosslinking reaction to form crosslinked particles. And the crosslinked particles are inert to the polymer molecules in intermolecular crosslinking under crosslinking conditions, and are inert to each other in intermolecular crosslinking under crosslinking conditions. The thus obtained crosslinked particles having a lower decomposition temperature than that of the host matrix material are mixed with the host matrix material, and the compound is heated to the decomposition temperature of the crosslinked particles to decompose the crosslinked particles so as to produce the porous dielectric material.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a crosslinked particle useful for manufacturing a dielectric material used for an electronic device such as an integrated circuit. SOLUTION: The crosslinked particle is manufactured by activating a crosslinkable group in a synthetic polymer. The crosslinkable group remains inactive until it is activated and, when activated, an intramolecular crosslinking reaction occurs irreversibly and the crosslinked particle is formed. In terms of intermolecular crosslinking, the crosslinked particle is kept inactive with each other and against the polymer molecule under the crosslinking condition. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
