A negative‐type photosensitive polyimide (PSPI) based on a chain extendable poly(amic acid) (PAA) and a photo‐base generator (PBG) (E)‐1‐piperidino‐3‐(2‐hydroxyphenyl)‐2‐propen‐1‐one (PHPP) have been developed. The chain extendable PAA was prepared from 3,3′,4,4′‐biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPDA) and 4,4′‐oxydianiline (ODA) and end‐capped with di‐tert‐butyl dicarbonate (DIBOC) in N‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidone (NMP), which has a controlled molecular weight for developing in a 2.38 wt% tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide aqueous solution (TMAHaq) and underwent a chain‐extending reaction during a curing stage. The PSPI was formulated with the polymerization solution (20 wt% in NMP) and PHPP (15 wt% for the polymer). The PSPI showed a sensitivity of 152 mJ cm−2 and a contrast of 5.9 when exposed to the i‐line, followed by post exposure baking at 160°C for 2 minutes and development with the 2.38 wt% TMAHaq containing 10 wt% iPrOH at room temperature. A fine negative image with 2‐μm pattern was obtained on a 3‐μm thick film in the contact‐printed mode. After thermal curing at 200°C for 1 hour, the resulting PSPI features low curable temperature, high resolution and excellent mechanical properties.
New conjugated polymers based on 4,8-bis(5-bromothiophen-2-yl)-2,6-bis(2-octyldodecyl)-2H-benzo[1,2-d:4,5-d′]- bis([1,2,3]triazole)-6-ium-5-ide (BTBBTa) displayed the highest hole mobility of 0.21 cm2 V−1 s−1.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
