  • Patent number: 4341820
    Abstract: There is disclosed a fugitive vehicle system comprising at least two organic components, at least one component being a solid polymeric material capable of pyrolyzing in a non-oxygen containing environment and at least one other component being a solvent for the solid polymeric material, the solvent being capable of removal at a temperature below the pyrolyzing temperature of the polymeric material. This fugitive vehicle system is especially suitable in microelectronic applications.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 5, 1980
    Date of Patent: July 27, 1982
    Assignee: Owens-Illinois, Inc.
    Inventors: Lynn J. Taylor, John D. Grier

    Inventors: John D. Grier, Lynn J. Taylor
  • Patent number: 4002583
    Abstract: There is disclosed a composition and process for applying an inorganic layer to a substrate which comprises dispersing at least one particulate, solid, inorganic substance in at least one thermally thinnable fugitive vehicle, the vehicle being viscous and non-drying at the temperature of substrate application and convertible to a low viscosity liquid on heating to a higher temperature and thermally removable on heating to a still higher temperature.

  • Patent number: 3957497
    Abstract: There is disclosed the preparation of a polymeric based composition comprising a finely divided, particulate inorganic material dispersed in a low molecular weight, low vapor pressure, liquid having a relatively constant viscosity and thixotropic character and capable of being decomposed or pyrolyzed completely to gaseous products at a relatively low temperature without forming a carbonaceous or like residue having a deleterious effect(s) in the application of the composition to a substrate.
