Patent ID: 7316844

Claim:
A microelectronic structure comprising: a microelectronic substrate having a surface; a primer layer adjacent said substrate surface, said primer layer comprising a silane having the structure each of i,j, and k is individually selected from the group consisting of 0 and 1, and if one of i and j is 1, then the other of i and j is 0; each R 3 is individually selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, the halogens, C 1 -C 8 alkyls, C 1 -C 8 alkoxys, C 1 -C 8 haloalkyls, aminos, and C 1 -C 8 alkylaminos; each R 4 is individually selected from the group consisting of C 1 -C 8 aliphatic groups; each X is individually selected from the group consisting of halogens, hydroxyls, C 1 -C 4 alkoxys and C 1 -C 4 carboxyls; Y is selected from the group consisting of oxygen and sulfur; Z is selected from the group consisting of nitrogen and phosphorus; and each d is individually selected from the group consisting of 0 and 1; a first protective layer adjacent said primer layer, said first protective layer including a polymer comprising recurring monomers having the respective formulas wherein: each R 1 is individually selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and C 1 -C 8 alkyls; and each R 2 is individually selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C 1 -C 8 alkyls, and C 1 -C 8 alkoxys; and a second protective layer adjacent said first protective layer, said second protective layer comprising a halogenated polymer.
