Boron Nitride materials for electronic and semi conductor Industry

Boron nitride polymers have been proposed as new building blocks for electronic devices. Based upon quantum-mechanical simulations, copolymers of sections of carbon and BN can be formulated to tune electronic properties. Such materials would be much cheaper than conventional semiconductors. [Material design from first principals:the case of boron nitride polymers, M Cote, P.D. Haynes and C. Molteni, J. of Physics-Condensed Matter 14 (42):9997-10009, 2002]

Also, in the electronics area, the increasing demand for high integration and high speed of semiconductor devices is leading to the use of copper replacing the conventional aluminum. Here, boron nitride materials of low dielectric constant are attracting attention. [Process for preparing low dielectric constant material, US Patent 2005181628, H. Nobutoki et al]. The boron nitrogen materials are prepared, in this case, from substituted borazines which are polymerized. The materials are claimed to be useful as a barrier metal layer or an etch stopper layer, or as a substrate for electric circuit parts. BoroScience Canada, Inc has developed new ways to substituted borazines.

Another recent application for borazine materials is for optoelectronic applications. Borazine materials have been demonstrated to be a new class of multifunctional and thermally stable materials with high electron and moderate hole mobilities for applications in electroluminescent devices [ I.H.T. Sham et al, Chem. Commun., 2005, 3547-3549]. The borazines in this application are substituted borazines.
