Patent number: 6852828Abstract: A poly amic acid precursor containing a combination of tetrahydrofuran and N-methylpyrrolidinone as cosolvents is described. Utilizing the combination of tetrahydrofuran and N-methylpyrrolidinone allows for the removal of significant portions of the solvent during the formation of the polyimide. The removal of tetrahydrofuran and N-methylpyrrolidinone can be done without the use of preheating zones so as to allow for the large scale production of polyimide articles.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2002Date of Patent: February 8, 2005Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.Inventor: Lisa Scott

Patent number: 6852791Abstract: An anti-reflection coating-forming composition is provided. This composition includes a polymer and a solvent. The polymer has a structural unit represented by the formula (1): wherein R1 is a monovalent atom other than a hydrogen atom or a monovalent group, and n is an integer of 0-4, provided that when n is an integer of 2-4, a plural number of R1's are the same or different; R2 and R3 are each a monovalent atom or group; and X is a bivalent group. The anti-reflection coating formed from this composition has a high antireflective effect, does not generate intermixing with a resist film, and enables a good resist pattern profile excellent in resolution and precision in cooperation with a positive or negative resist.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2001Date of Patent: February 8, 2005Assignee: JSR CorporationInventors: Kazuo Kawaguchi, Masato Tanaka, Tsutomu Shimokawa
