The solubility of tetramethylammonium hydroxide pentahydrate in dimethyl sulfoxide is significantly increased by adding to the solution a quantity of dipropyleneglycol monomethylether. This permits up to twelve percent of the tetramethylammonium hydroxide pentahydrate to be dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide, rather than the maximum of two percent that would otherwise be the case, which enhances the capacity of the solution to strip photoresist. Particularly, if the concentration of dipropyleneglycol monomethylether is in the range of ten to thirty percent, one can obtain both a high stripping rate and a much higher stripping capacity. For example, stripping capacity may be increased from one hundred forty substrates per gallon to six hundred substrates per gallon.

Photoresist stripping method

A triazine-based mixture, used as a multichip module device dielectric (14), is made more robust and more resistant to temperature extremes by making it to be of from twenty to sixty percent by weight of triazine and of one to ten percent by weight of siloxane-caprolactone copolymer. The foregoing mixture can be made to have a higher resolution by including zero to twenty percent by weight of novolak epoxy acrylate. The entire mixture preferably additionally comprises two to eight percent by weight of bisphenol-A diglycidyl ether monoepoxyacrylate, zero to twenty percent by weight of carboxyl-terminated butadiene nitrile rubber, two to six percent of N-vinylpyrrolidone, one to ten percent of trimethylolpropanetriacrylate, zero to five weight percent glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, 0.05 to five weight percent photoinitiator, zero to two percent pigment, 0.1 to one percent surfactant, zero to 0.3 percent copper benzoylacetonate, and thirty to fifty percent solvent.

A bath (19) for stripping a cured electrophoretic resist coating (13) consists of a mixture comprising 0.2-50% of a fluoro-containing acetic acid, less than one percent corrosion inhibitors, and 50-99.8% of an amide solvent, preferably a cyclic amide. The amide solvent is preferably N-methylpyrrolidone, and the acid is preferably trifluoroacetic acid.

An optical waveguide (11) is composed substantially entirely of triazine.

Triazine optical waveguides

An optical waveguide (11) is composed substantially entirely of triazine. Various methods for making desired triazine waveguide patterns are described.

Method of making triazine optical waveguides

Optically nonlinear device elements such as directional couplers, switches, frequency stabilizers, optical parametric devices and modulators use as an optically nonlinear element a cross-linked triazine polymer containing a covalently bonded optically nonlinear dye moiety. A specific cross-linked triazine with this dye moiety may be made by cyclotrimerizing a p-(N,N-bis(4'-cyanatobenzyl)amino)-p'-(2,2-dicyanovinyl)azobenzene monomer. During polycyclotrimmerization or cure, the element is subjected to a poling voltage which aligns the dipoles of the dye moiety to give a large useful nonlinear susceptibility.

Nonlinear optical devices and methods

A polyquinoxaline polymer is prepared by self condensation of a monomer having both a 1,2-diketone and a 1,2-primary diamine in the molecule. The resultant polymers can be used as dielectric films, adhesions, varnishes and membranes.
