  • Multifunctional photolithographic compositions
    Patent number: 5110697
    Abstract: A photolithographic composition having improved processability and which eliminates the need for inter layering multiple special purpose coatings in the production of micro-electronic devices is surprisingly made possible by selective dissolution of poly(vinylpyridine) and an effective light attenuating material in critical solvents.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 13, 1990
    Date of Patent: May 5, 1992
    Assignee: Brewer Science Inc.
    Inventors: James E. Lamb, III, Terry Brewer, J. Michael Mori
  • Method for making polyimide microlithographic compositions soluble in alkaline media
    Patent number: 5057399
    Abstract: Nonamic acidic functionalized diamines and dianhydrides are condensed to produce abnormal acid functionalized polyamic acid/imide resins which surprisingly afford effective lift-off, by alkaline media, even after higher imidization.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 31, 1989
    Date of Patent: October 15, 1991
    Inventors: Tony Flaim, James Lamb, Gregg Barnes, Terry Brewer
  • Positive working polyamic acid/imide and diazoquinone photoresist with high temperature pre-bake
    Patent number: 5024922
    Abstract: Positive working polyamic acid photoresist compositions are disclosed having improved high resolution upon image development and exhibiting stable photosensitivity and superior dielectric performance. The compositions comprise polyamic acid condensation products of an aromatic dianhydride and an aromatic di-primary amine wherein a percentage of the diamine comprises special dissolution inhibiting monomers. The compositions may be further improved by the presence of particular supplemental additives.

  • Adhesion promoting product and process for treating an integrated circuit substrate therewith
    Patent number: 4950583
    Abstract: An improved method of promoting the adhesion of microelectronic coatings to substrates uses new adhesion promoters, catalysts for adhesion promoters and adjuvant polymers.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 17, 1986
    Date of Patent: August 21, 1990
    Assignee: Brewer Science Inc.
    Inventors: Terry Brewer, Tony D. Flaim, Mary G. Moss
  • Adhesion promoting product and process for treating an integrated circuit substrate
    Patent number: 4732858
    Abstract: An improved method for improving the adhesion of microelectronic coatings to substrates uses a new silane adhesion promoter and hydroxylic solvent combination. An improved silane adhesion promoter contains an aqueous solvent composition containing a hydroxylic solvent.
