[0036] Here, the above methylene also includes terminal methyl. Furthermore, the above "substituted with fluorine, hydroxy or alkoxy" means that a hydrogen atom directly bonded to a carbon atom in an aliphatic hydrocarbon group or an aromatic hydrocarbon group is replaced with fluorine, hydroxy or alkoxy.

[0046] It is believed that such acrylic functional group substituted siloxane polymers may provide higher dielectric constants. e Siloxane polymers containing repeating units of formula (I) can provide higher dielectric constants. eAs the siloxane polymer containing the repeating unit of (III), publicly available polymers can be preferably used. For example, siloxane polymers manufactured by Torey Fine Chemical Co., Ltd., siloxane polymers manufactured by Merck Co., Ltd., etc.

[0047] The polysiloxane used in the present invention may contain two or more of the above-mentioned repeating units. For example, RI a is methyl or phenyl a ) and a repeating unit represented by formula (I c and three types of repeating units having the repeating units represented by

[0048] In addition, the polysiloxane used in the composition of the present invention preferably has silanol. Here, the silanol is a silanol in which an OH group is directly bonded to the Si skeleton of the polysiloxane, and is represented by the above formula (I a )~(I d In other words, silanol refers to a compound in which hydroxy is directly bonded to a silicon atom in a polysiloxane containing a repeating unit such as the above formula (l a ) to (I d The silanol content in polysiloxane varies depending on the conditions for synthesizing the polysiloxane, such as the mixing ratio of the monomers and the type of reaction catalyst.

[0049] The silanol content can be quantitatively evaluated by infrared absorption spectroscopy. The absorption band attributed to silanol (SiOH) is 900±100 cm -1 The intensity of this absorption band increases when the silanol content is high.

[0050] It is believed that the high silanol residual siloxane polymer is effective in providing good dispersion of the compound of formula (I) in the composition / resulting film.

[0051] In the present invention, in order to quantitatively evaluate the silanol content, the intensity of the absorption band attributed to Si—O is used as the standard. -1 An absorption band having a peak in this range is adopted as the peak attributed to Si—O. The silanol content can be relatively evaluated by the ratio S2 / S1 of the integrated intensity S2 of the absorption band attributed to SiOH to the integrated intensity S1 of the absorption band attributed to Si—O. In the present invention, the ratio S2 / S1 is preferably 0.003 to 0.15, and more preferably 0.01 to 0.10.

[0052] Considering the noise in the infrared absorption spectrum, the integrated intensity of the absorption band is determined. In a typical infrared absorption spectrum of polysiloxane, the band intensity is 900±100 cm -1 and an absorption band assigned to Si-OH with a peak in the range of 1100±100 cm -1 Absorption bands attributable to Si-O, with peaks in the range of 1000 to 10000, are identified. The integrated intensities of these absorption bands can be measured as the region in which the baseline is taken into account, taking noise and other factors into consideration. It is possible for the foot of the absorption band attributable to Si-OH and the foot of the absorption band attributable to Si-O to overlap. In such cases, the wavenumber corresponding to the minimum point between the two absorption bands in the spectrum is set as their boundary. The same applies when the foot of another absorption band overlaps with the foot of an absorption band attributable to Si-OH or Si-O.

[0053] The weight-average molecular weight of the polysiloxane used in the present invention is not particularly limited. However, the higher the molecular weight, the more improved the coating properties tend to be. On the other hand, the lower the molecular weight, the easier the synthesis because the synthesis conditions are not limited, and it is difficult to synthesize polysiloxanes with significantly high molecular weights. For these reasons, from the viewpoint of solubility in organic solvents, the weight-average molecular weight of the polysiloxane is usually 500 to 25,000, preferably 1,000 to 20,000. Here, the weight-average molecular weight refers to the weight-average molecular weight in terms of polystyrene, which can be measured by gel permeation chromatography based on polystyrene.

[0057] The selected solvents are believed to have good compatibility with the composition, boiling point, viscosity and / or vapor pressure, provide better handling of the composition, are suitable for lower temperature manufacturing of the layer, and / or provide easy manufacturing.

[0058] The amine-type solvent, preferably an aprotic polar solvent, is preferably selected from one or more members of the group consisting of N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), 3-methoxy-N,N-dimethylpropanamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), hexamethylphosphoric triamide (HMPA), acetonitrile, more preferably N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) or 3-methoxy-N,N-dimethylpropanamide; it is believed that this can improve the dispersibility of the compound of formula (I) in the polymer composition and / or in the resulting layer.
