AbstractIn order to understand the effects of plastic deformation and the interfacial fracture energy on the peel strength, thickness of the metal layer and the pretreatment conditions of polyimide were varied in the Cu/Cr/polyimide system. The work expenditure during the peel test was estimated using the stress strain curves of metal films, X-ray measurements of the plastic strain in the peeled films, and the elastoplastic beam analysis. Results indicate that the peel strength is strongly affected by the film thickness and the pretreatment condition in a synergistic way, and that the measured peel strength is more a measure of the plastic deformation during the peel test than a measure of the true interfacial energy.

ABSTRACTThe interfacial fracture energies of flexible Cu/Cr/Polyimide system were deduced from the T peel test. The T peel strength and peel angle were strongly affected by the metal thickness and the biased rf plasma power density of the polyimide pretreatment. The plastic bending works of metal and polyimide dissipated during peel test were estimated from the direct measurement of maximum root curvatures using the elastoplastic beam analysis. The interfacial fracture energy between Cr and polyimide increased with the rf plasma power density and saturated, but was pretty much independent of the metal film thickness and the peel angle.

AbstractAdhesion of Cu and Cr to polyimide was studied by 90° peel test, AES, and X-ray diffraction. The two necessary conditions of the high adhesion strength were the presence of Cr interlayer and the preactivation of the polymer surface by RF plasma treatment. The Cr is thought to react with activated polyimide to form carbide-like bonds which enhance the adhesion strength drastically. Correlations between the peel strength and C260/Cr527 Auger PHR from the peeled metal strip were good. Qualitatively, the peel strength is related to the amount of plastic deformation done on the metal strip during peeling.

AbstractAn enhancement of the adhesion between copper and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) has been studied. Thin-films of copper were electron-beam deposited on the surface of the polymer substrates. Peel test measurements showed that, without any treatment of the substrates, the adhesion was poor with a peel strength of 1-2 g/mm. A pronounced enhancement of the adhesion has been obtained when the fluorocarbon substrates were treated by either an ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, an ion-beam presputtering prior to the metal deposition, or heat treatments after the deposition. Among the treatments employed, the ion-beam sputtering was the most effective in improving the adhesion. The roles of the treatments and possible reasons for the enhanced adhesion are discussed in conjunction with the studies of interface morphology and chemistry using Scanning Electron Microscopy, Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy, and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy.

AbstractThe electrical properties and structure of reactively sputtered titanium nitride barrier metal films have been characterized. Junction leakages and yields for different post deposition treatments of the barrier metal layer are reported. TEM, x-ray diffraction and Auger electron spectroscopy have been used for the physical characterization of the TiN films.

Polyimide films are currently of great interest for the development of flexible electronics and sensors. In order to ensure a proper integration with other materials and PI itself, some sort of surface modification is required. In this work, microwave oxygen plasma, reactive ion etching oxygen plasma, combination of KOH and HCl solutions, and polyethylenimine solution were used as surface treatments of PI films. Treatments were compared to find the best method to promote the adhesion between two polyimide films. The first selection of the treatment conditions for each method was based on changes in the contact angle with deionized water. Afterward, further qualitative (scratch test) and a quantitative adhesion assessment (peel test) were performed. Both scratch test and peel strength indicated that oxygen plasma treatment using reactive ion etching equipment is the most promising approach for promoting the adhesion between polyimide films.

The changes of the phase composition, structure and physicomechanical properties of Ti‑40 mas % Nb after severe plastic deformation are investigated in this paper. By the methods of microstructural, X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy it is determined that phase and structural transformations occur simultaneously in the alloy after severe plastic deformation. The martensitic structure formed after tempering disappears. The inverse α'' → β transformation occurs. The structure consisting of oriented refined grains is formed. The alloy is hardened due to the cold working. The Young modulus is equal to 79 GPa and it is less than that of initial alloy and close to the value obtained after tempering. It is possible that Young modulus is reduced by additional annealing.
