Abstract
Abstract There is disclosed a fugitive vehicle system comprising at least two organic components, at least one component being a solid polymeric material capable of pyrolyzing in a non-oxygen containing environment and at least one other component being a solvent for the solid polymeric material, the solvent being capable of removal at a temperature below the pyrolyzing temperature of the polymeric material. This fugitive vehicle system is especially suitable in microelectronic applications.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
205 words
A process for coating a substrate with a layer of inorganic material which comprises (a) applying to the substrate a composition of matter containing particulate inorganic material dispersed in a fugitive vehicle system, said particulate material having a fusion temperature and said fugitive vehicle system comprising at least two organic components, at least one component being a polymeric material which is a solid at ambient temperature, has a pyrolysis temperature below said fusion temperature of said particulate material and following pyrolysis in a non-oxygen containing environment, leaves no carbonaceous residue having a deleterious affect on said particulate material, and at least one other component being a solvent for dissolving said polymeric material, said solvent being a liquid at ambient temperature and having a volatilization or decomposition temperature range of about 200° C. to about 350° C. but below the pyrolysis temperature of said polymeric material, (b) heating said composition containing said fugitive vehicle system and said particulate inorganic material to a temperature sufficient to volatilize said solvent to form a coating of said polymeric material containing said particulate inorganic material, and (c) further heating said resultant coating to higher temperatures sufficient to pyrolyze said polymeric material and fuse said particulate inorganic material to said substrate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
205 words
A process for coating a substrate with a layer of inorganic material which comprises (a) applying to the substrate a composition of matter containing particulate inorganic material dispersed in a fugitive vehicle system, said particulate material having a fusion temperature and said fugitive vehicle system comprising at least two organic components, at least one component being a polymeric material which is a solid at ambient temperature, has a pyrolysis temperature below said fusion temperature of said particulate material and following pyrolysis in a non-oxygen containing environment, leaves no carbonaceous residue having a deleterious affect on said particulate material, and at least one other component being a solvent for dissolving said polymeric material, said solvent being a liquid at ambient temperature and having a volatilization or decomposition temperature range of about 200° C. to about 350° C. but below the pyrolysis temperature of said polymeric material, (b) heating said composition containing said fugitive vehicle system and said particulate inorganic material to a temperature sufficient to volatilize said solvent to form a coating of said polymeric material containing said particulate inorganic material, and (c) further heating said resultant coating to higher temperatures sufficient to pyrolyze said polymeric material and fuse said particulate inorganic material to said substrate.
