            Appeal No. 1999-1066                                                                       
            Application No. 08/756,440                                                                 

            wherein each R3 is independently a tetravalent carbocyclic aromatic group, a               
            heterocyclic group, an alicyclic group or an aliphatic group;                              
                  each R5 is independently a divalent aliphatic group having 2 or more                 
            carbon atoms, an alicyclic group, an aromatic aliphatic group, a carbocyclic               
            aromatic group, a heterocyclic group or a polysiloxane group;                              
                   R6 is an alkyl group having 1 to 7 carbon atoms; and wherein, upon                  
            exposure of said composition to light, the acid generating compound generates              
            acid, which causes a silane at the end of at least one polyimide precursor to              
            undergo a siloxane condensation reaction and a subsequent intermolecular                   
            cross-linking reaction with another silane.
