AbstractPoly(indanes) can be prepared by the photoinduced cationic polymerization of a variety of diisopropenyl aromatic monomers. Typically, polymerization proceeds rapidly under UV irradiation catalyzed by diaryliodonium salt photoinitiators to give hard, transparent films. Investigations have shown that the polymerization proceeds mainly by a dimerization followed by a ringclosure process to yield indane structures along the polymer backbone. Film-forming mixtures containing either pure monomer or mixtures of monomers together with a poly(indane) prepolymer can be spin coated onto silicon wafers. Measurements made on the photopolymerized coatings give low dielectric constants. These coatings also display excellent thermal stability.

AbstractPolysilsesquioxanes (PSSQs) with the empirical formula (RSiO3/2)n have become very important as low-dielectric insulators for copper interconnects in the next-generation logic devices, but the detailed structure-property relationships were completely lacking. We have investigated the microstructure and functional properties of PSSQs with varying alkyl substituents and also PSSQ copolymers. As a result, significant advances have been made in the scientific understanding of PSSQ structures and significant improvements of key properties such as the crack resistance, mechanical modulus and hardness, and incorporation of nanometer-sized (<4 nm) porosity for ultra-low dielectric constants (<2.0).

AbstractThis paper presents a study of the effects of electron beam (e-beam) exposure on the chemical and physical properties of FLARE™ 1.0X, a non-fluorinated member of the FLARE™ family of poly(arylene ether) dielectric coatings. Spin-coated films of this poly(arylene ether) were cured by large-area e-beam exposure, as well as by conventional thermal processing. Neither swelling nor dissolution was observed for the e-beam cured films after immersion in N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) at 90 °C for 1 hour. The glass transition temperature (Tg) for films cured with a low e-beam dose is slightly higher than, or nearly the same as, the (Tg) for thermally-cured films (∼ 270 °C). However, the Tg for films cured with a high e-beam dose exceeds 400 °C. Dielectric constants of e-beam cured films and thermally cured films are nearly the same. FTIR spectra of FLARE™ films obtained before and after e-beam exposure suggest that e-beam curing does not induce any significant change in the chemical structure. Increased solvent resistance, higher Tg, and low dielectric constant are properties that make this e-beam cured poly(arylene ether) film an excellent candidate for interlevel dielectric integration processes.

AbstractPolysilsesquioxanes PSSQ as a candidate of coatings for interlayer low dielectric films were synthesized by acid and base catalyzed hydrolytic polycondensation of RSi(OMe)3 (R=methyl, vinyl, 3-methacryloxypropyl). Dip and spin coating of PSSQ on organic and inorganic substrates followed by curing at 100 °C, 400 °C, and 450 °C provided transparent and tough coating films of thickness 2000–9000 A. Polysilsesquioxanes adhered strongly to the substrates to form coating films of which the adhesion strength and hardness were 10 and 9H based on JIS K5400 comparable to ISO standard, as heating time and molecular weight increase. On curing at the elevated temperatures, they provided the films with a very smooth surface and the dielectric constants of 3.2∼3.6 (R=3-methacryloxypropyl), 3.8∼4.0 (R=vinyl), and 2.5∼2.7 (R=methyl) depending on film thickness and molecular weight of PSSQ. The films from PSSQ (R=methyl) were found to be porous compared with those from PSSQ (R=vinyl).

Polymethylsilsesquioxane (PMSQ) has become a kind of widely studied filler used in the electronic circuit board substrates due to its organic–inorganic hybrid structure, low dielectric constant, and good thermal stability, among other factors. Herein, the PMSQ microspheres were prepared by a two-step acid–base-catalyzed sol–gel method; the influences of reaction conditions including the ratio of water/methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS), reaction temperature, concentration of the catalyst, and stirring time were systematically investigated; and the optimized reaction condition was then obtained towards a narrow particle size distribution and good sphericity. The microstructure of PMSQ microspheres was analyzed by the infrared spectrum and X-ray diffraction (XRD), which indicated that the as-prepared PMSQ had a ladder-dominant structure. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) demonstrated an excellent thermal stability of as-prepared PMSQ microspheres. More specifically, the dielectric constants at high frequency (1~20 GHz) of as-prepared PMSQ microspheres were measured to be about 3.7, which turned out a lower dielectric constant compared to SiO2 powder (≈4.0). This study paves the way to further improve the performance of the electronic circuit board substrates for the application of high-frequency electronic packaging.

ABSTRACTThe utility of a variable duty cycle, pulsed plasma polymerization technique to produce low dielectric constant materials (k < 2.3) is described. The molecular compositions (and thus the dielectric constants) of the plasma polymers are controllable via changes in the plasma duty cycles employed during synthesis, all other reaction variables being held constant. In the present study, this compositional controllability under pulsed conditions is illustrated with two fluoroaromatic monomers. The dielectric constants of the films decrease as the plasma duty cycles employed during polymerization are decreased. Although the as deposited films exhibit relatively poor thermal stability, it was discovered that post-plasma annealing of the films, particularly at 400 °C under N2, provides dramatic improvements in the thermal stability of these materials. Most importantly, this enhanced thermal stability is achieved with relatively minor changes in the dielectric properties of these materials. In fact, synthesis of high thermal stability films having k < 2.0 is demonstrated in this work using the perfluoroaromatic monomer perfluoroallyl benzene.

ABSTRACTA series of new poly(enaminonitriles) were synthesized by the condensation polymerization of three different bis(chlorodicyano-vinyl) aromatic monomers with various aromatic diamines. These polymers have moderate to high molecular weight with intrinsic viscosities ranging from 0.35 to 0.77 dl/g and form flexible films. These polymers exhibit good solubility in many organic solvents and excellent thermal stability, retaining their weight up to 400 °C in air. Poly(enaminonitriles) undergo ‘curing’ reactions at high temperature (˜300 °C) to provide insoluble, infusible material without emission of volatile by-products. Dielectric constants of these polymers ranged from 3.5 to 5.2 depending on the structure. Their thermal and dielectric properties are correlated to the structures.

The rapid development of advanced high-frequency mobile communication techniques has advanced urgent requirements for polymer materials with high-temperature resistance and good dielectric properties, including low dielectric constants (low-Dk) and low dielectric dissipation factors (low-Df). The relatively poor dielectric properties of common polymer candidates, such as standard polyimides (PIs) greatly limited their application in high-frequency areas. In the current work, benzoxazole units were successfully incorporated into the molecular structures of the fluoro-containing PIs to afford the poly(imide-benzoxazole) (PIBO) nano-fibrous membranes (NFMs) via electrospinning fabrication. First, the PI NFMs were prepared by the electrospinning procedure from organo-soluble PI resins derived from 2,2′-bis(3,4-dicarboxy-phenyl)hexafluoropropane dianhydride (6FDA) and aromatic diamines containing ortho-hydroxy-substituted benzamide units, including 2,2-bis[3-(4-aminobenzamide)-4-hydroxylphenyl]hexafluoropropane (p6FAHP) and 2,2-bis[3-(3-aminobenzamide)-4-hydroxyphenyl]hexafluoropropane (m6FAHP). Then, the PI NFMs were thermally dehydrated at 350 °C in nitrogen to afford the PIBO NFMs. The average fiber diameters (dav) for the PIBO NFMs were 1225 nm for PIBO-1 derived from PI-1 (6FDA-p6FAHP) precursor and 816 nm for PIBO-2 derived from PI-2 (6FDA-m6FAHP). The derived PIBO NFMs showed good thermal stability with the glass transition temperatures (Tgs) over 310 °C and the 5% weight loss temperatures (T5%) higher than 500 °C in nitrogen. The PIBO NFMs showed low dielectric features with the Dk value of 1.64 for PIBO-1 and 1.82 for PIBO-2 at the frequency of 1 MHz, respectively. The Df values were in the range of 0.010~0.018 for the PIBO NFMs.
