Surface modification of polyimide films by argon plasma for copper metallization on microelectronic flex substrates

Surface modification of polyimide films such as Kapton E(N) and Upilex S by argon plasma was investigated because of the enhanced adhesive strength with sputtered copper. Peel tests demonstrated this improvement, with a peel strength of 0.7 and 1.2 g/mm for unmodified Kapton E(N) and Upilex S, respectively, and 110.3 and 98 g/mm for argon plasma–modified Kapton E(N) and Upilex S, respectively, in certain plasma conditions. This study showed that the enhanced adhesive strength of polyimide films with sputtered copper by argon plasma was strongly affected by the surface characteristics such as surface morphology and surface energy of polyimide films. Atomic force microscopy and the sessile drop method indicated that the surface roughness and surface energy of the polyimide films were greatly increased by argon plasma, resulting in highly increased peel strength of the polyimide films with sputtered copper. It was observed in electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA) that the increased surface energy of the polyimide films from argon plasma was a result of more of the surface being composed of O and N and of the increased number of C? O, C?O, and C? N chemical bonds. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 99: 744–755, 2006     

Surface modification of aromatic polyamide film by remote oxygen plasma

Surface modification of poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide) (PPTA) film by a remote oxygen plasma treatment has been investigated from a viewpoint of comparison with a direct oxygen plasma treatment. We call the modification procedure in a space far away from the oxygen plasma zone “the remote oxygen plasma treatment,” and the modification procedure in a space just in the oxygen plasma zone (a conventional oxygen plasma treatment) “the direct oxygen plasma treatment.” In a space far away from the plasma zone, oxygen radicals rather than electrons and oxygen ions are predominant, and the PPTA film can be modified by the remote oxygen plasma treatment into a hydrophilic surface without heavy degradation of the PPTA film. The PPTA film surfaces modified by the remote oxygen plasma treatment were analyzed with contact angle measurement, scanning microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Effects of aromatic groups in polymer chains on plasma surface modification

Three polyester films with different repeating units—poly(lactic acid) (PLA), poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), and poly(oxybenzoate‐co‐oxynaphthoate) (PBN)—were modified by plasma, and the way in which the chemical compositions of the polymer chains influenced the plasma modification was investigated with contact‐angle measurements and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). There were large differences in the compensated rates of weight loss among the three polyester films when they were exposed to Ar and O₂ plasmas. The PLA film showed the highest rate for weight loss of the three films, and the PBN film showed the lowest rate. The PET and PBN film surfaces were modified to become more hydrophilic by either argon or oxygen plasma. However, the PLA film surface was not made more hydrophilic by the plasmas. XPS spectra showed that the PLA film surface was not modified in its chemical composition, but the PBN film surface was modified in its chemical composition to form C? O groups in the PBN polymer chains. The reason that the PLA film surface was not modified but the PBN film surface was modified was examined. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Surface characterization of PET nonwoven fabric treated by He/O2 atmospheric pressure plasma

The surface of polyethyleneterephthalate (PET) nonwoven fabric was modified by He/O₂ atmospheric pressure plasma treatment, varying plasma exposure time. The plasma treated PET surfaces have been analyzed to investigate the chemical nature and morphology of surface by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), respectively. The change of wettability was measured depending on plasma exposure time. XPS results indicated the presence of oxygen‐based functional groups on the PET nonwoven fabric surface after plasma treatment and oxygen content increased as exposure time increased. The mean roughness increased after 30 s exposure and further increase in exposure to 60 s led to decrease of the roughness and then again increase. The root mean square roughness followed the similar trend to mean roughness. The average difference in height, Rz, increased after plasma exposure for 30 s, while it slightly decreased after 60 s exposure. Despite of redeposition, the Rz of 90 s exposed sample increased more than two times compared with those of 30 and 60 s exposed. Wettability increased progressively up to 10 times after 90 s exposure compared with the untreated. It is attributed to the increases of hydrophilicity and surface roughness. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008     

Surface characterization of polyethylene films modified by gaseous plasma

Of the several techniques available for surface modification, plasma processing has proved to be very appropriate. The low temperature plasma is a soft radiation source and it affects the material only over a few hundred angstroms deep, the bulk properties remaining unaffected. Plasma surface treatment also offers the advantage of greater chemical flexibility. The improvement in adhesion was studied by measuring T‐peel strength. In addition, printability of plasma‐treated PE films was studied by cross test method. It was found that printability increases considerably for plasma treatment of short duration. It was therefore thought of as interesting to study the surface composition and morphology by contact angle measurement, ESCA, and AFM. Surface energy and surface roughness can be directly correlated to the improvement in above‐mentioned surface‐related properties. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Surface modification of polyester and polyamide fabrics by low frequency plasma polymerization of acrylic acid

In this study, the surface characteristics of polyester and polyamide fabrics were changed by plasma polymerization technique utilizing acrylic acid as precursor. This monomer was used to produce hydrophilic materials with extended absorbency. The hydrophilicity, total wrinkle recovery angle (WRA°) and breaking strength of the fabrics were determined prior and after plasma polymerization treatment. The modification of surfaces was carried out at low pressure (<100 Pa) and low temperature (<50°C) plasma conditions. The effects of exposure time and discharge power parameters were optimized by comparing properties of the fabrics before and after plasma polymerization treatments. It was shown that two sides of polyester fabric samples were treated equally and homogeneously in plasma reactor. For polyester fabrics, the minimum wetting time, 0.5 s, was observed at two plasma processing parameters of 10 W–45 min and 10 W–20 min, where untreated fabric has a wetting time of 6 s. For polyester fabrics, the maximum value was obtained at 60 W–5 min with the wrinkle recovery angle of 306° where the untreated fabric has 290°. The optimum plasma conditions for polyamide fabrics were determined as 30 W–45 min where 2 s wetting time was observed. Wrinkle recovery angle of untreated polyamide fabric was 264°. In this study, after plasma polymerization of acrylic acid, wrinkle recovery angle values were increased by 13%. No significant change was observed in breaking strength of both fabrics after plasma treatment. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 104: 2318–2322, 2007

Surface modification of polytetrafluoroethylene films by plasma pretreatment and graft copolymerization to improve their adhesion to bismaleimide

BACKGROUND: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is utilized in many engineering applications, but its poor wettability and adhesion properties with other materials have limited its use. The study reported was aimed at achieving surface modification of PTFE films by radiofrequency NH₃ and N₂ plasma treatment, followed by graft copolymerization, in order to improve the interfacial adhesion of PTFE and bismaleimide. RESULTS: X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy results showed that a short‐time plasma treatment had a distinct defluorination effect and led to nitrogen functional group formation. The nitrogen chemical bonding form was different for NH₃ and N₂ plasma treatments. Under the same experimental conditions, the NH₃ plasma exhibited a better etching effect than did the N₂ plasma. Contact angle measurement showed an improvement in both surface energy and wettabliity by short‐time plasma treatment. The concentration of the surface‐grafted bismaleimide on PTFE increased after the plasma pretreatment. The lap shear strength between PTFE and bismaleimide increased significantly after surface modification. CONCLUSION: This study found that plasma treatment caused changes in surface chemistry, thus leading to an increase of the wettability of PTFE surfaces. Hence, the adhesion properties of PTFE with bismaleimide were significantly improved. Copyright © 2008 Society of Chemical Industry     

Surface modification of polypropylene membrane by low‐temperature plasma treatment

Microporous polypropylene membranes were low temperature plasma treated with acrylic acid and allylamine. Parameters of plasma treatment were examined and optimized for the enhancement of membrane performance properties. Excess power damaged the membrane surface and excess monomer flow rate increased the reactor pressure to interfere with the glow discharge. Longer plasma treatment time resulted in even more plasma coating and micropore blocking. The contact angle with water decreased and wettabilities increased with the increase of plasma treatment time. Deposition of the plasma polymer on the membrane surface was confirmed by FTIR/ATR spectra of the treated surface. In determining the flux, the hydrophilicity of the surface played a role as important as that of the micropore size. Adequate plasma treatment could enhance both water flux and solute removal efficiency. Results from the BSA (bovine serum albumin) solution test confirmed that fouling was greatly reduced after the plasma treatment. The BSA solution flux through the plasma‐treated membranes depended on pH, whereas pH variation had no serious effects on the untreated membrane. Modification of the surface charge by the plasma treatment should exert a substantial influence on the adsorption and removal of BSA. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Surface modification of poly(tetrafluoroethylene) with pulsed hydrogen plasma

Surface modification of polymers by pulsed plasma has been investigated to minimize degradation reactions occurring at the same time as the surface modification reactions. The hydrogen radical, ion, and electron concentrations in the hydrogen plasma were simulated as a function of the elapsed time after turning off the discharge. The contact angle measurement showed that hydrogen plasma treatment, regardless of pulsed or continuous plasma, led to degradation reactions as well as defluorination and oxidation on PTFE surfaces. The degradation reactions of PTFE chains initiated by the pulsed hydrogen plasma were not as vigorous as those by the continuous hydrogen plasma. A combination of the on‐time/off‐time of 30/270μs in the pulsed hydrogen plasma was efficacious in modifying PTFE surfaces. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 83: 340–348, 2002

Surface hydrophilization of two polyester films by atmospheric-pressure plasma and ultraviolet excimer light exposures

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) films were treated with an atmospheric-pressure plasma (APP) jet and a 172-nm ultraviolet (UV) excimer light in air. The advancing and receding water contact angles on both films decreased after the treatments, especially after APP treatment. After the treatments, the hydrophobic recovery was observed and almost diminished within a week. The dispersive component of the surface free energy of the two polyester films did not change due to the APP and UV exposure, whereas the acid–base component drastically increased after the treatments. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results showed that the polyester film surfaces were oxidized by the treatments. From the AFM images, the topographical change on the film surfaces due to the treatments was clearly observed. It was found that the APP treatment of the PET film prevented the deposition of particulate soils in air due to the decrease in the contact area between the film and the soil particle. Furthermore, the soil release in the aqueous solutions was promoted as a result of the hydrophilization of the polyester films due to the APP treatment.     

Surface functionalization by RF plasma deposition of ethylene diamine,acrylonitrile, and acetonitrile

Surface rich in covalently‐bonded amine groups have wide end use applications in biomaterials. This article describes functionalization of stainless steel (SS) surface with reactive chemical groups using RF‐cold‐plasma polymerization of ethylene diamine (ED), acrylonitrile (AN), and acetonitrile (AcN). The effect of RF plasma power and frequency (40 kHz and 13.56 MHz) on surface chemistry was investigated by electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA) and FTIR. It was demonstrated that all the plasma‐deposited films consist of secondary and tertiary amines, imines, and amides with a small concentration of nitrile groups present in AN plasma. Significant changes in ED, and AN plasma‐induced molecular fragmentation occur as the plasma conditions are varied. However, AcN plasma polymer chemistry is observed to be independent of RF frequency. Films deposited at 13.56 MHz RF power in continuous mode have higher concentrations of C? N linkages, with maximum in ED plasma‐polymerized films. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008

Surface modification of polytetrafluoroethylene with tetraethoxysilane by using remote argon/dinitrogen oxide microwave plasma

The use of remote microwave plasma for the polymerization and deposition of tetraethoxysilane on the surface of polytetrafluoroethylene was investigated using a mixture of Argon and dinitrogen oxide as carrier gas. Layers with thicknesses of 0.5–3 μm were obtained, differing in chemical composition, surface energy, and flexibility/brittleness, depending on the plasma power and both the treatment and aging times. In general, milder treatments and shorter aging times resulted in higher contents of organic structural elements in the layers and greater flexibility and surface energy. Anchoring between the layers and the bulk polytetrafluoroethylene was at least partially caused by fibrils interconnecting the two components. These results were obtained by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy in the attenuated total reflection mode, contact angle measurements, and scanning electron microscopy combined with energy dispersive X‐ray analysis. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Surface modification of PET films by pulsed argon plasma

The rf power was modulated (discharge on‐time of 10 μs and discharge off‐time of 50–500 μs), for pulsed argon (Ar) and oxygen (O₂) plasmas used to irradiate PET film surfaces to modify the film surfaces. From data regarding the contact angle for the modified PET film surfaces and chemical analyses with XPS, effects of the rf power modulation on the surface modification are discussed. The pulsed Ar and O₂ plasmas are effective in modification of the PET film surface. There is no difference in the contact angle between the pulsed plasma and the continuous plasma. Furthermore, the pulsed Ar plasma is advantageous in formation of hydroxyl groups on the PET film surfaces. The rf power modulation has a possibility to modify into peculiar surfaces. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 85: 2845–2852, 2002
