Abstract

A self-priming and photosensitive aqueous-basedevelopable benzocyclobutene (BCB)-based dielectric material curable in air is described. Patterned films have high resolution. Whether cured in nitrogen or in air, the formulation produces a film with optical, electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties desired for many microelectronic applications, such as a planarization layer or insulation layer in display applications. A self-priming, air-curable nonphoto- sensitive BCB material is also described.
