Inventor: GODARD NICOLAS
IPC: H01L41/00
Filed: 2018-04-27
Abstract: The invention is directed to an only inkjet-printing-based process for depositing functional materials, preferably PZT, on a substrate, preferably platinized silicon. Substrate templating (via SAMs) and material deposition are both performed by an inkjet printing process. The invention also relates to a composition to be used as a SAM precursor ink which is a thiol in a solvent mixture. The invention further concerns a cartridge for a printing machine with such a composition. The invention also relates to the use of such a cartridge, alone, or as a kit with another cartridge containing a precursor of the functional material, in particular to perform both steps of the printing method. The invention also relates to the product, for instance a microsystem, obtained by the process of the invention.

Abstract: Curable compositions are prepared using polyisocyanates, hydrophobic hydroxyl- terminated polymers (such as hydroxyl-terminated polyfarnesenes and hydroxyl- terminated polydienes) and organically-modified nanoclays, optionally in combination with chain extenders and/or urethane catalysts. When cured, the compositions yield polyurethane-based sealants useful in insulating glass units which have improved (lowered) moisture vapor transmission rate values as a consequence of the inclusion of the organically-modified nanoclays.
