  • Publication number: 20240383927
    Abstract: A silicon precursor compound, a preparation method therefor, a silicon-containing film formation composition containing the silicon precursor compound are disclosed. A method for forming a silicon-containing film by using the silicon-containing film formation composition is also disclosed. The silicon-containing film formation composition contains a silicon precursor compound having a specific structure so that the thickness of a silicon-containing film can be controlled to be very thin through atomic layer deposition (ALD), and, when a silicon-containing composite film is formed by combining an ALD cycle that forms a silicon-containing film and an ALD cycle that forms a film containing another metal, the silicon amount of the silicon-containing composite film can be finely controlled to be in a low range.

  • Patent number: 8466239
    Abstract: Provided are a polymer containing a thiophene unit and a thienylenevinylene unit, and an organic field effect transistor and an organic solar cell containing the polymer. The film may be formed by coating a substrate with a polymer containing a thiophene unit and a thienylenevinylene unit using a solution process. Therefore, the production cost may be reduced and a large-scale device may be suitably manufactured since there is no need for an expensive vacuum system to form films. Also, the polymer according to one embodiment of the present invention containing a thiophene unit and a thienylenevinylene unit has very excellent flatness since the thiophene unit is continuously coupled with a vinyl group having excellent flatness. Therefore, the polymer may be useful in further improving the charge mobility since it has high crystallinity caused by the improved ordering property between molecules. Such crystallinity may be further improved by the heat treatment.
