Due to the high value of its dielectric constant, polyimide does not meet the requirements of the development of integrated circuits and high-frequency printed circuits. The development of novel low dielectric constant polyimide materials for the preparation of flexible copper clad laminates is of theoretical and practical significance in the application of polyimide for 5G communications. In this work, different fluorinated graphene/polyamic acids (FG/PAA) were used as the precursor, and the porous polyimide film was successfully prepared by phase inversion. The dielectric constant of the porous polyimide film is relatively low, being less than 1.7. When the content of fluorinated graphene is 0.5 wt%, the overall dielectric performance of the porous film is the best, with a dielectric constant of 1.56 (10 kHz) and a characteristic breakdown field strength of 56.39 kV/mm. In addition, the mechanical properties of the film are relatively poor, with tensile strengths of 13.87 MPa (0.2 wt%), 13.61 MPa (0.5 wt%), and 6.25 MPa (1.0 wt%), respectively. Therefore, further improving the breakdown resistance and mechanical properties of the porous film is essential for the application of porous ultra-low dielectric polyimide materials.

AbstractPorous low dielectric films containing nano pores (∼20Å) with low dielectric constant (<2.2), have been prepared by using various kinds of cyclodextrin derivatives as porogenic materials. The pore structure such as pore size and interconnectivity can be controlled by changing functional groups of the cyclodextrin derivatives. We found that mechanical properties of porous low-k thin film prepared with mCSSQ (modified cyclic silsesquioxane) precursor and cyclodextrin derivatives were correlated with the pore interconnection length. The longer the interconnection length of nanopores in the thin film, the worse the mechanical properties of the thin film (such as hardness and modulus) even though the pore diameter of the films were microporous (∼2nm).

AbstractLow-κ dielectrics have to meet stringent requirements in material properties in order to be successfully integrated. A particularly difficult challenge for material development is to obtain a combination of low dielectric constant with good thermal and mechanical properties. Incorporation of low dielectric constant materials such as porous silica based materials as a replacement to conventional dielectrics like SiO2 and use of Cu metallization schemes has become a necessity as critical dimensions of devices decrease. This paper is focused on the challenges in developing materials with low dielectric constant but strong thermo mechanical properties. Thin films of Ultra-Low materials such as porous Methyl Silsesquioxane (MSQ) (κ=2.2) were implanted with argon 1 × 1016 cm-2 dose at energies varying from 20 to 50 keV at room temperature. This work shows that the surface hardness of the porous films can be improved five times as compared to the as-deposited porous films by implanting Ar with 1 × 1016 cm-2 doses at 20 keV, sacrificing only a slight increase (∼9%) in dielectric constant (e.g., from 2.2 to 2.4). The hardness persists after 4500C annealing. In this current work, an ion implantation strategy was pursued to create a SiO2-like surface on MSQ. The effects of implantation parameters on the barrier property and bulk stability of MSQ were then studied. The results reveal one possible route to attain the “zero barrier thickness” requirement for interconnects systems.

Si3N4wave-transparent composites with different volume content of BN nanoparticles (BNnp/Si3N4) were prepared by gas pressure sintering at 1800°C in N2atmosphere. The effects of BN nanoparticles on the dielectric and mechanical properties of BNnp/Si3N4composites were investigated. The results showed that the addition of the BN nanoparticles improved the dielectric properties of BNnp/Si3N4composites effectively and decreased the mechanical properties. When the volume content of BN nanoparticles was 10%, the dielectric constant and dielectric loss tangent were 4.31 and 0.006, respectively, and the bending strength and fracture toughness still reached 198.9 MPa and 3.36 MPa·m1/2. The high mechanical properties of BNnp/Si3N4composites with 10% BN nanoparticles were attributed to homogeneously dispersed BN nanoparticles which were embedded in the pores formed by the rod-likeβ-Si3N4.

2.5-Dimension hollow silica fiber reinforced nitride (2.5D HSFRN) composites were fabricated by repeated infiltration and pyrolysis from hybrid polyborosilazane precursor. The effects of precursor infiltration and pyrolysis (PIP) cycles on densification behavior, mechanical properties, dielectric properties, and microstructures of the composites were investigated. With increasing PIP cycles, the density of 2.5D HSFRN composites increases, the mechanical properties increase accordingly, however, the dielectric properties decrease. The composites prepared after three PIP cycles, which have moderate flexural strength of 77.4MPa and elastic modulus of 20.7GPa, low dielectric constant of 2.98 and loss angle tangent of 3.9×10-3, exhibit suitable mechanical and dielectric properties. The calculation results of dielectric performance show that 2.5D HSFRN composites have good broadband wave-transparent properties, which result from high purity hollow silica fibers with excellent dielectric properties and low density nitride matrix.

AbstractDecreasing the circuit dimensions is driving the need for low-k materials with a lower dielectric constant to reduce RC delay, crosstalk, and power consumption. In case of spin-on organosilicate low-k films, the incorporation of a porogen is regarded as the only foreseeable route to decrease dielectric constant of 2.2 or below by changing a packing density. In this study, MTMS-BTMSE copolymers that had superior mechanical properties than MSSQ were blended with decomposable polymers as pore generators. While adding up to 40 wt % porogen into MTMS:BTMSE=100:50 matrix, optical, electrical, and mechanical properties were measured and the pore structure was also characterized by PALS. The result confirmed that there existed a tradeoff in attaining the low dielectric constant and desirable mechanical strength, and no more pores than necessary to achieve the dielectric objective should be incorporated. When the dielectric constant was fixed to approximately 2.3 by controlling BTMSE and porogen contents simultaneously, the thermo-mechanical properties of the porous films were also investigated for the comparison purpose. Under the same dielectric constant, the increase in BTMSE and porogen contents led to improvement in modulus measured by the nanoindentation technique but deterioration of adhesion strength obtained by the modified edge lift-off test.
