Brewer Science, Inc., Issued Two U.S. Patents for Transparent Conductive Polymer Coatings and Wet-Developable, Spin-Applied Anti-Reflective Coatings


November 11, 2009 - Brewer Science, Inc., a major innovator of high-technology solutions for the semiconductor and microelectronics markets, is pleased to announce that it has been issued two new patents by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office:

"¢Â Â Â  U.S. Patent No. 7,608,342 covers compositions and methods for use of a coating with high transparency and high electrical conductivity.  

"¢Â Â Â  U.S. Patent No. 7,608,380 covers spin bowl compatible polyamic acids/imides, with superior optical properties that are wet developable.

Brewer Science"™s new high-transparency, highly conductive coatings utilize a photopolymer and an electrically conductive polymer dispersed in a solvent system.  These new compositions can be applied to a variety of substrates.

"Brewer Science is committed to finding answers to technology challenges through innovative products and processes," says Dr. Xing-Fu Zhong, Scientist and inventor.  "Developing electrically conductive coatings that remain transparent will greatly improve flat panel displays and other optoelectronic devices."Â Â Â 

The company has also increased its set of novel microlithography materials.  The need for anti-reflective coatings that can be removed by conventional photoresist developers, are spin-applied, and exhibit good coating and optical properties has led to the invention of new material compositions for the manufacture of microelectronic devices.

Providing new technologies is a part of Brewer Science"™s commitment to its customers to help them achieve success with current and future technology nodes.  Brewer Science is enabling advancements in future technology.
