Abstract
A method of forming a polymer device including the steps (i) of depositing on a substrate a solution containing a polymer or oligomer and a crosslinking moiety, to form a layer, and, (ii) curing the layer formed in step (i) under conditions to form an insoluble crosslinked polymer, wherein the crosslinking moiety is present in step (i) in an amount in the range of from 0.05 mol % to 5 mol % based on the total number of moles or repeat units of the polymer or oligomer and the crosslinking moiety in the solution.

A method of forming a polymer device including the steps of:
- (i) depositing on a substrate a solution comprising a semiconductive polymer or oligomer and a crosslinking moiety, to form a layer;
- and,
- (ii) curing the layer formed in step (i) under conditions to form an insoluble crosslinked polymer;
- wherein the crosslinking moiety is present in step (i) in an amount in the range of from 0.05 mol % to less than 5 mol % based on the total number of moles of repeat units of the polymer or oligomer and the crosslinking moiety in the solution.
A solution containing a semiconductive polymer or oligomer and a crosslinking moiety, wherein the crosslinking moiety is present in an amount of from 0.05 mol % to less than 5 mol % based on the total number of moles of repeat units of the polymer and the crosslinking moiety in the solution.
