The present teachings relate to compositions for forming a negative-tone photopatternable dielectric material, where the compositions include, among other components, an organic filler and one or more photoactive compounds, and where the presence of the organic filler enables the effective removal of such photoactive compounds (after curing, and during or after the development step) which, if allowed to remain in the photopatterned dielectric material, would lead to deleterious effects on its dielectric properties.

Photopatternable compositions and methods of fabricating transistor devices using same

The present teachings relate to a photopatternable composition including a vinylidene fluoride-based polymer, a photosensitive non-nucleophilic base, and a crosslinking agent. The photopatternable composition can be used to prepare a patterned thin film component for use in an electronic, optical, or optoelectronic device such as an organic thin film transistor. The patterned thin film component can be used as a gate dielectric with a high dielectric constant, for example, a dielectric constant greater than 10.

Photopatternable compositions, patterned high k thin film dielectrics and related devices

Disclosed are curable linear polymers that can be used as active and/or passive organic materials in various electronic, optical, and optoelectronic devices. In some embodiments, the device can include an organic semiconductor layer and a dielectric layer prepared from such curable linear polymers. In some embodiments, the device can include a passivation layer prepared from the linear polymers described herein. The present linear polymers can be solution-processed, then cured thermally (particularly, at relatively low temperatures) and/or photochemically into various thin film materials with desirable properties.

Curable polymeric materials and their use for fabricating electronic devices

The present invention relates to new semiconducting compounds having at least one optionally substituted bithiophene sulfonamide moiety. The compounds disclosed herein can exhibit high carrier mobility and/or efficient light absorption/emission characteristics, and can possess certain processing advantages such as solution-processability and/or good stability at ambient conditions.
