[0003] The invention relates to the light-sensitive photodielectric material and its manufacturing method needed in sensor applications. The dielectric constant of present photodielectric material is changed according to the light intensity.

[0004] PRIOR ART

[0005] Virtual reality technology and market have been growing rapidly in recent years. Autonomous vehicle technology has also made a big leap in recent years. An autonomous car is equipped with a large number of sensors and these sensors collect a lot of data. The collected data needs to be processed instantly. These technologies require higher data bandwidth between logic and memory. The demand for higher data bandwidth drives ultra-high density packaging technologies such as 2.5D interposers. These ultra-high density packages require copper wires or traces below 5 pm and micro vias below 10 pm to realize high density RDLs (redistribution layers).

[0006] In recent years, there have been studies on the use of photolithography to create small micro-paths. On the other hand, the photosensitive materials do not require expensive high-power lasers. Therefore, micro-path formation via photolithography using photosensitive dielectric materials has attracted great interest in applications. Photosensitive polyimide (PI) and polybenzoxazole (PBO) are widely used to obtain ultra-thin paths. In the known technique, the dielectric constant of the material is changed by adding different metal oxides, metal ions, etc. However, obtaining photo-sensitive photodielectric materials, whose dielectric properties are controlled by photons without adding any additives to the material, will provide a great advantage in terms of usage, cost and functionality.

[0007] BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] The invention relates to the light-sensitive photodielectric material and its manufacturing method needed in sensor applications. The dielectric constant of this photodielectric material, which is used to improve the photosensitivity properties of electronic devices, is changed by light intensity without doping the material. The dielectric materials are the most basic components of capacitors, which are circuit elements that store energy and are used as filters in electronic technology. The functional capacitors are produced by making the functional dielectric material. The capacitance of the capacitor is improved with different dielectric materials placed between two parallel plates. In present disclosure, instead of using different dielectric materials, the dielectric constant of the dielectric materials is increased by exposing it to light. The material whose dielectric constant changes with photon is defined as the photodielectric material. The photodielectric material is used in electronic devices to be operated with light, and it transforms the electronic technology into a new generation photonic technology. The photocapacitors are prepared with photodielectric materials. When the light is irradiated on the photocapacitors, the opposite or equal charges accumulate between the plates of the capacitor. Photodielectric material determines how much energy the photocapacitor will absorb with photons. In present disclosure, the light-controlled capacitors are controlled. The dielectric constant of the dielectric material is based on the increase in the conductivity of the material by light. The increase in the conductivity of the material increases the dielectric permittivity of the material. In present invention, the photodielectric property of the present material is due to the internal photodielectric effect formed within the material. The photodielectric effect occurs by UV-VIS-NIR photons incident on the material. When photons are incident the material, the photons excite the electrons in the material to the higher energy states. The excited electrons move to more high energy levels in the material and in turn, create an electric current, causing a change in the dielectric constant of the material. The present photodielectric material consists of metal oxide semiconductors containing metal oxides semiconductor and define a side that faces the light.
