The study involves the processing of a novel poly [1, 4-phenylene-cis-benzobisoxazole] (PBO) fibre reinforced high-temperature thermoplastic composite with polyaryletherketone (PAEK) as the matrix. The PBO fibre and the PAEK film surface was modified using the method of argon and nitrogen plasma treatment. The investigation primarily focuses on evaluating the tensile properties of the fabricated laminates and correlating it with the effect of plasma treatment, surface characteristics, and its fracture surface. A 5% decrease in tensile strength was observed post argon plasma treatment while a 27% increase in strength was observed post nitrogen plasma treatment. The morphology of the failure surface was investigated by scanning electron microscopy and an interfacial failure was observed. Furthermore, the effect of plasma on the wettability of PBO fibres and PAEK film surface was confirmed by the Dynamic Contact Angle analysis and sessile drop method respectively. FTIR spectral analysis was done to investigate the effect of plasma treatment on the chemical structure on the surface. The results of the wettability study showed that the argon plasma treatment of the fibre surface increased its hydrophobicity while nitrogen plasma treatment resulted in the reduction of contact angle.

AbstractUltra-thin platinum (Pt) films grown by atomic layer deposition (ALD) have been investigated as an alternative to conventional physical vapor deposited (PVD) Cu as seed layer for copper (Cu) electroplating. The wetting angles between the electrolyte and both Pt and Cu seed layers were analyzed using sessile-drop contact-angle analysis prior to plating. Both constant current and pulse reverse current (PRC) were applied to electroplate Cu on both types of blanket seed layers. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) revealed that Cu nucleation density on ALD Pt is lower than on its PVD Cu counterpart, after 30 seconds plating using PRC. Nevertheless, Cu nuclei were observed after only 1.0 minute plating on ALD Pt surfaces, and continuous Cu films were achieved at longer plating times. To fill trench structures coated with ALD Pt/TaN, PRC was applied using the same organic-additive-free electrolyte. Initial results suggest that these seed layers were adequate for ECD fill of trenches with 200 nm feature size and aspect ratio 7:1. The composition and microstructure of the Cu films were analyzed by Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Thermal stability of the Cu/Pt system was examined by annealing in forming gas at 450°C for 1 hour and subsequent analysis by XRD and TEM.
