Download or read book High-performance Polymers written by Guy Rabilloud and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reviews the current status of high performance polymers, in particular polyimides, in the electronics industry. Overviews polymers used for optical lithography, semiconductor encapsulation, packaging, flexible circuitry, and conformal coatings, then examines development of new polyimides for their electrical and optical properties, adhesive strength, thermal expansion, and moisture and solvent diffusion. A chapter is devoted to chemistry of negative and positive photosensitive polyimides. Attention is also paid to process parameters used for deposition techniques, cure cycles, and etching methods. Rabilloud is affiliated with the Centre d'etudes des materiaux organiques pour les technologies avancees. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
