A method for reducing a dielectric constant of a film includes (i) forming a dielectric film on a substrate; (ii) treating a surface of the film without film formation, and (III) curing the film. Step (i) includes providing a dielectric film containing a porous matrix and a porogen on a substrate, step (ii) includes, prior to or subsequent to step (iii), treating the dielectric film with charged species of hydrogen generated by capacitively-coupled plasma without film deposition to reduce a dielectric constant of the dielectric film, and step (iii) includes UV-curing the dielectric film to remove at least partially the porogen from the film.

A method for managing UV irradiation for treating substrates in the course of treating multiple substrates consecutively with UV light, includes: exposing a first UV sensor to the UV light at first intervals to measure illumination intensity of the UV light so as to adjust the illumination intensity to a desired level based on the measured illumination intensity; and exposing a second UV sensor to the UV light at second intervals to measure illumination intensity of the UV light so as to calibrate the first UV sensor by equalizing the illumination intensity measured by the first UV sensor substantially with the illumination intensity measured by the second UV sensor, wherein each second interval is longer than each first interval.

A method of forming device isolation regions on a trench-formed silicon substrate and removing residual carbon therefrom includes providing a flowable, insulative material constituted by silicon, carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen or any combination of two or more thereof; forming a thin insulative layer, by using the flowable, insulative material, in a trench located on a semiconductor substrate wherein the flowable, insulative material forms a conformal coating in a silicon and nitrogen rich condition whereas in a carbon rich condition, the flowable, insulative material vertically grows from the bottom of the trenches; and removing the residual carbon deposits from the flowable, insulative material by multi-step curing, such as O2 thermal annealing, ozone UV curing followed by N2 thermal annealing.

Disclosed is a method for forming banks during the fabrication of electronic devices incorporating an organic semiconductor material that includes preparing an aqueous coating composition having at least a water-soluble polymer, a UV curing agent and a water-soluble fluorine compound. This coating composition is applied to a substrate, exposed using UV radiation and then developed using an aqueous developing composition to form the bank pattern. Because the coating composition can be developed using an aqueous composition rather than an organic solvent or solvent system, the method tends to preserve the integrity of other organic structures present on the substrate. Further, the incorporation of the fluorine compound in the aqueous solution provides a degree of control over the contact angles exhibited on the surface of the bank pattern and thereby can avoid or reduce subsequent surface treatments.

This invention, including the gel bag, is characterized in that the gel bag is filled with gel which is prepared from gel monomers, a cross-linking agent and a photoinitiatorandwater prepared from the UV curving. The gel consists of monomers, cross-linking agents, cross-linking agents, photo initiators and water. The said monomer are two or more than two of an acrylic acid alkali metal salt, ester generated by methacrylic acid ,acrylamide ,methacrylamide and AMPS(2-acrylamide-2-methyl-propanesulfonic acid ). The said cross-linking agent is a non-conjugated double bond compound which is polyol(glycerol )N,N'-methylene bisacrylamide. The said photoinitiator is a cracking type initiator or a photosensitive initiator or a cationic initiator. The advantages of the method are that the production process is simple, the gel solidification is fast and the gel pad produced is flattened.

To provide a three-dimensional molding technique capable of generating a three-dimensional molded article in short time.In a three-dimensional molding apparatus, a powder material is allowed to drop via an opening while moving a thin layer formation section in the +X direction, thereby forming a powder layer on a molding stage. With respect to a selected region in the powder layer, a binder of ultraviolet-ray hardening resin is discharged from a head section. Then, the powder layer is irradiated with ultraviolet rays from an ultraviolet irradiation section, making the ultraviolet-ray hardening resin applied on the powder layer harden to thereby bind the powder material. By repeating this operation with respect to the powder layer which is sequentially formed, a three-dimensional molded article is formed. In this way, since an ultraviolet-ray hardening resin is used as a binder and a powder material can be bound rapidly by ultraviolet irradiation, it is possible to generate a three-dimensional molded article in short time.

A liquid crystal display panel includes a counter substrate having a counter electrode and a multi-layered dielectric film both formed thereon, and an array substrate formed with pixel electrodes and thin-film transistors serving as switching elements. A layer of polymer dispersed liquid crystal material containing a UV-curable resin component and a liquid crystal component is sandwiched and sealed between the counter and array substrates. A light shielding film is formed over each thin-film transistor. The multi-layered dielectric film is a laminated structure of alternating thin-films of SiO2 and HfO2. Since the multi-layered dielectric film is of a nature capable of transmitting UV-rays of light therethrough, the UV-curable resin component positioned underneath the multi-layered dielectric film can be cured during the manufacture. Also, since the multi-layered dielectric film is of a nature capable of reflecting light of a visible region, it serves as a black matrix, reflecting the visible light modulated by the display panel. Black beads are used to keep the film thickness of the liquid crystal layer at a predetermined value. Preferably, a dielectric thin-film having a relative dielectric constant smaller than that of the liquid crystal material is formed on signal lines for transmitting signals to the thin-film transistors, to thereby accomplish an electromagnetic shield. Where color filters are to be formed on the pixel electrodes, those color filters may be formed on the signal lines to accomplish the electromagnetic shield.
