          polyimide/polymer material to electromagnetic radiation.                    
               Claims 6, 24 and 51 are illustrative of the claimed                    
          invention, and they read as follows:                                        
               6.  An integrated circuit comprising at least a pair of                
               extended conductive elements lying in distinct                         
          substantially       parallel planes, and a radiation sensitive              
          polymer material    interposed between said pair of said                    
          conductive elements,     said radiation sensitive polymer                   
          material dosed with           electromagnetic radiation to have             
          different conductivities      in different portions forming a               
          continuous body with a substantially smooth surface from                    
          portion to portion, with      said pair of conductive elements              
          electrically linked by a      said portion wherein the                      
          radiation sensitive polymer             material comprises a                
          polybenzimidazole (PBI) material.                                           
          24.  A transistor comprising:                                               
               a radiation sensitive polymer material dosed with                      
                    electromagnetic radiation to have conductive regions              
                    separated by another region of a lower conductivity               
          in the    radiation sensitive material, and                                 
               a conductive material deposited over the region of                     
          lower     conductivity;                                                     
               wherein the radiation sensitive material comprises a                   
               polyimide.                                                             
          51.  A printed wiring board comprising a base including                     
               selectively irradiated radiation sensitive polyimide                   
                    material, the board further having a conductor layer              
          affixed to said base and patterned into a set of conductors                 
          wherein said radiation sensitive material is dosed with                     
                         electromagnetic radiation to have different                  
          conductivities      in different portions thereof, at least two             
          of the         conductors electrically connected by a portion               
          of the dosed radiation sensitive material.
