Benzocyclobutene

Benzocyclobutene (BCB) is a benzene ring fused to a cyclobutane ring. It has chemical formulaC₈H₈.

BCB is frequently used to create photosensitivepolymers. BCB-based polymer dielectrics may be spun on or applied to various substrates for use in Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and microelectronics processing. Applications include wafer bonding, optical interconnects, low-κ dielectrics, or even intracortical neural implants.
