Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of polymer materials technology, specifically relating to a series of post-crosslinkable high dielectric and high refractive index norbornene-based polymers synthesis and curing methods. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of integrated circuit technology, the process node of complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) has broken through 45nm. In this process, the physical thickness of the traditional SiO2 gate dielectric is approaching 1nm. Due to the low dielectric constant of SiO2 (k≈3.9), it is necessary to reduce the thickness to improve capacitance; however, when the thickness is below 2nm, the quantum tunneling effect leads to a sharp increase in leakage current, and the risk of breakdown and leakage power consumption constitute the core bottleneck restricting chip performance and energy efficiency. Meanwhile, the development of modern photonic integrated circuits (PIC) relies on utilizing the refractive index difference between different materials to confine light waves within micrometer or nanometer-scale channels through total internal reflection, thereby realizing the transmission, modulation, and processing of optical signals at the chip scale. The high performance of on-chip integrated optical waveguides is highly dependent on the continuous breakthrough of material refractive index. Therefore, developing high-k materials to improve capacitance and reduce equivalent physical thickness, or developing high-refractive-index materials for on-chip integrated optical waveguides, has become a research hotspot in this field.

[0003] Compared to inorganic materials, polymers possess advantages such as high dielectric strength, excellent electrical insulation properties, lightweight, and low manufacturing costs. Their dielectric constant can be controlled at both the molecular and mesoscopic scales: 1) Molecular-scale structural design: introducing polar functional groups (such as cyano, sulfonyl, and bromine) into monomers to enhance orientation polarization, or introducing highly polar segments through copolymerization; 2) Mesoscopic structural control: enhancing polarization by forming nano-ferroelectric domains through annealing or electric field modulation, or enhancing interfacial polarization through microphase separation in block copolymers / blends. However, according to the microscopic polarization mechanism, increasing the dielectric constant often inevitably leads to an increase in dielectric loss, resulting in increased power consumption. Furthermore, electronic polarization depends on the displacement of the electron cloud; enhancing electronic polarization (e.g., promoting electron cloud shift through conjugated structures) reduces the material's band gap, increases intrinsic conductivity, and exacerbates leakage power consumption while reducing insulation performance. On the other hand, introducing chemical groups with high molar refractive index and low molar volume (such as halogen atoms (except fluorine), aromatic rings, sulfur atoms, etc.) into the polymer structure is a common strategy for preparing high refractive index materials. However, such groups (especially aromatic rings and sulfur) may reduce the optical transparency of the material in the visible light range, thus limiting its application range. Summary of the Invention

[0061] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0062] This invention utilizes a modular molecular engineering control strategy via a "functional monomer-polymerization" method to design and synthesize several norbornene functional monomers. Through ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP), a series of polymers were prepared with alternating alicyclic and double bonds in the main chain, and side groups bonded with methanesulfonyl functional groups for enhanced polarization and thermally openable benzocyclobutene groups. These polymers are used to manufacture high-performance benzocyclobutene-functionalized, high-dielectric, high-refractive-index norbornene-based materials. Through a programmed thermosetting process, these linear polymers can achieve complete crosslinking, forming a network structure with higher thermal stability and high insulation properties. At 10... 1 -10 6 Within the Hz frequency range, the material of this invention exhibits a stable high dielectric constant (dielectric constant 2.8–4.2) and a low dielectric loss factor (dielectric loss ~4 × 10⁻⁴). 4 Furthermore, the novel material of this invention exhibits excellent comprehensive properties in many aspects, including outstanding thermal stability (thermal decomposition temperature T). d5% The materials possess properties such as high dielectric constant (>400℃), high refractive index (approximately 1.7), and excellent mechanical properties. The molecular design method provided by this invention paves the way for the development of novel high dielectric constant and high refractive index materials, and demonstrates an effective strategy for optimizing the performance of advanced chip manufacturing and on-chip integrated optical waveguide materials.

[0063] To address the aforementioned challenges, we proposed a modular molecular engineering control strategy, designing and synthesizing several norbornene functional monomers. A series of polymers with alternating alicyclic and double-bonded backbones, side groups for enhanced polarization, and thermally openable benzocyclobutene groups were prepared via ROMP polymerization. The refractive indices of the obtained polymers before and after thermosetting were both approximately 1.7, with k values ​​ranging from 2.8 to 4.2. More importantly, the insulation properties of the cured polymers were significantly improved, potentially solving the leakage current and power consumption problem. Attached Figure Description

[0098]

[0099] The test results above show that:

In particular, the dielectric constants of P150-B0, P150-B60, and P150-B150 are greater than or close to 4, while the dielectric loss factor of P0-B300 is as low as 0.00036.

Therefore, the cured products prepared by this invention have good insulation properties.

[0104] (5) Refractive index: As shown in Table 2, the refractive indices of the five polymers and the five cured products are all around 1.7. In particular, the refractive indices of P150-B150 and pre-P150-B150 are 1.710. It can be seen that the cured products prepared by the present invention have high refractive indices.
