Photocurable and Thermosetting Polymer Materials on the Basis of Benzocyclobutene and Its Derivatives for Electronics

Аннотация

One of the promising directions, which have already been applied in many technological processes in manufacturing electronic components and devices, is the use of organic polymer materials. Continuous improvement of electronics and widening the scope of its application has led to strengthening of the requirements to materials used in its production. Polymer materials must possess a set of properties providing efficiency, reliability, and longevity of such devices. Such requirements include thermal stability at temperatures of up to 300–400°C, dielectric properties, optical transparency in the UV, visible, and near-IR ranges, chemical stability, etc. This review article covers the available information on existing polymer materials on the basis of benzocyclobutene and its derivatives, and their physicochemical properties. Comparative evaluation of materials on the basis of benzocyclobutene and its derivatives, including analogs, is made, and their application in electronic devices is described.
