Since more than one decade, building electronic or optical devices on a nanometer scale has been pushed for a variety of applications. Complementary to the build-up of devices on a micro- and nanometer scale by use of suited process technologies (top-down) is the use of nano-scale materials (bottom-up). With both approaches, a higher integration density combined with less spatial extension and a higher level of optical and electrical functionality can be realized reducing simultaneously the costs . Beside of the realization of miniaturized components, the use of low-cost process technologies also reduces manufacturing costs. For the realization of miniaturized components as well as for the use of low-cost process technologies, there is a demand for new materials which can be adapted to the processes and technologies in a wide range and/or which have functionalities decreasing the necessary processing steps. The material class of nano-scaled inorganic-organic hybrid polymers ...
