##STR00022##

[0135] In Examples, NMR, spin coating, film thickness measurement, dispenser printing, UV irradiation, vacuum deposition, the amount of UV irradiation necessary for crosslinking, wettability of a polymer dielectric layer to a solvent, breakdown voltage, evaluation of an OFET device, evaluation of solvent resistance (cracking resistance) were carried out under the following conditions and using the following devices.

<NMR>

[0136] NMR was measured using JNM-ECZ400S FT-NMR (manufactured by JEOL Ltd.). Note here that the molar fraction X of a photocyclization group in an aromatic group can be calculated by the following expression using integrated intensity of a peak obtained by the .sup.1H-NMR measurement.


X=(P−1)×I.sub.2/{(N+1)×I.sub.2−M×I.sub.1}

(herein, I.sub.1 represents an integral value of peaks that are present in δ0.8 to δ2.04 ppm, I.sub.2 represents an integral value of peaks that are present in δ6.50 to δ7.6 ppm, P represents the total number of hydrogen atoms that are present in the photocyclization group, N represents the number of the total of methylene, methine, and methyl groups, and M represents the total number of hydrogen atoms of the aromatic group.)

<Spin Coating>

[0137] MS-A100 manufactured by Mikasa Co., Ltd was used.

<Film Thickness Measurement>

[0138] Measurement was carried out using DektakXT stylus profiler manufactured by Bruker Corporation.

<Dispenser Printing>

[0139] IMAGE MASTER 350PC SMART manufactured by Musashi Engineering, Inc. was used.

<UV Irradiation>

[0140] UV irradiation was carried out using UV-System, CSN-40A-2 manufactured by GS Yuasa Corporation under the condition of UV intensity of 4.0 kW, and UV irradiation time was adjusted by changing the conveying speed.

<Deposition>

[0141] Small-sized vacuum evaporation equipment VTR-350M/ERH manufactured by ULVAC KIKO was used.

<Amount of UV Irradiation Necessary for Crosslinking>

[0142] On a washed and dried glass having a size of 30×30 mm.sup.2 (Eagle XG manufactured by Corning Inc.), a resin solution was applied to form a spin-coated film having a film thickness of 500 nm, followed by drying sufficiently. Initial film thickness (A) at this time was measured, and a crosslinked film obtained with an amount of UV irradiation changed was soaked in toluene for one hour, and dried. Then, a film thickness (B) of the resultant film was measured. Using these film thicknesses, from the following expression:


Film remaining rate=Film thickness (B)/Initial film thickness(A)×100,

the amount of UV irradiation in which the film remaining rate was 95% or more was made to be a UV irradiation amount necessary for crosslinking.

<Wettability of a Polymer Dielectric Layer to Solvent>

[0143] Five types of solvents (toluene, tetralin, xylene, mesitylene, and chlorobenzene) having different surface tension was dropped in an amount of 1 μL onto a crosslinked film of a resin. When coating of an appropriate amount of the organic semiconductor solution covering the S electrode and the D electrode is carried out, if a shape at instant time of coating of droplet is maintained or wettability is widened, the solution can cover the electrodes entirely. Thus, this case was evaluated as good (score 1). On the other hand, when the droplet was contracted, and/or moved, electrode was not covered. Therefore, a case where the liquid was contracted and/or moved was evaluated as failure (score 0). When good results are obtained in all the solvents, the score was 5.

<Breakdown Voltage >

[0144] On the washed and dried glass having a size of 30×30 mm.sup.2 (Eagle XG manufactured by Corning Inc.), silver was deposited to form an electrode having a thickness of 30 nm. Thereafter, on the substrate on which the electrode was formed, a film of a dielectric material (insulator) was formed, gold electrode was deposited on the dielectric layer to prepare an MIM capacitor, and a voltage was applied between the above silver-gold electrodes. A voltage at which an electric current starts to flow inside the dielectric layer by dielectric breakdown was measured, and a value obtained by dividing the value by a thickness of the measured dielectric layer referred to a breakdown voltage.

<Evaluation of FET Device>

[0145] A bottom-gate bottom-contact (BGBC) type device as one embodiment of the organic field effect transistor was prepared, and mobility, leakage current, on-current/off-current ratio, hysteresis of source/drain current, and threshold voltage were evaluated using Semiconductor Parameter Analyzer SCS4200 manufactured by Keithley Instruments, Inc., with a source-drain voltage be −60 volts and a gate voltage changed.

<Solvent Resistance (Cracking Resistance)>

[0146] On a PET film (manufacture by Teijin DuPont Films Japan) having a size of 5 cm×5 cm and a thickness of 100 micron, an insulating film having a thickness of 600 nm was formed using a spin coater, and then a photocyclization (photocrosslinking) was carried out. The film was soaked in toluene for one hour, then the film was taken out to volatilize toluene at ordinary temperature, and the presence or absence of micro-cracks on the surface of the film was checked by observing the surface of the film using a shape-measurement laser microscope (VK-X100 manufactured by Keyence Corporation).

[0147] Hereinafter, Examples are shown. All of reaction, purification, and drying were carried out under yellow light or under shading. Note here that Examples were carried out under yellow light or under shading, in order to prevent photocyclization reaction of a photocyclizable compound and photocyclization reaction of a resin into which a photocyclizable compound has been introduced.

<VUV Irradiation>

[0148] Irradiation was carried while the irradiation time was adjusted using SUS740 manufactured by USHIO INC.

<Blade Coating>

[0149] Blade coating was carried out using Automatic film applicator 100-5 and a film applicator 064-13 having film thickness-adjustment function, manufactured by Allgood Co., Ltd.

<Formation of Polyparaxylylene (Parylene) Film>

[0150] A parylene dimer was put into PDS 2010 manufactured by Japan Parylene Limited Liability Company, and a film was formed by chemical vapor deposition.

<Evaluation of Lyophilic/Liquid-Repellent Patterning Performance>

[0151] To a washed and dried glass (substrate) (Eagle XG manufactured by Corning Inc.) having a size of 30×30 mm.sup.2, a xylene solution of a resin (3 wt %) was spin-coated under the conditions of 500 rpm×5 seconds and 1500 rpm×20 seconds, and dried at 50° C. for one minute to form a planarization film which had been irradiated with ultraviolet ray and cross-linked. Thereafter, irradiation of vacuum ultraviolet ray (VUV) was carried out via a photomask having chromium patterns having line-and-space of 5 micron to 50 micron to pattern the surface of the planarization film into a lyophilic region and a hydrophobic region. This substrate was set to a main body of an automatic film applicator that had been heated to 70° C., Ag nanoink was dropped thereto, and then applied by moving a film applicator having a film thickness adjustment function at a speed of 140 mm/s and baked at 120° C. for 30 minutes. All the formed patterns were observed. A value of a pattern having the minimum line-and-space among patterns formed without defects was made to be a resolution.

The reaction solution was cooled in ice water again, and then a saturated aqueous solution dissolving 10.6 g of saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate was added to neutralize TFMS and hydrochloric acid in the system. The reacted product was transferred to a separation funnel and the methylene chloride layer was separated. Furthermore, a water layer was washed with methylene chloride three times, and separated to obtain a methylene chloride solution of a polymer. An operation of filtering the solution through 3-μm Teflon (registered trademark) filter, and precipitating again in 1.5 L of methanol, and isolating the polymer by filtration was carried out twice, followed by drying at 50° C. under reduced pressure to obtain 6.8 g of resin 1.
