Abstract

The object of this work is to identify the most important structure features in the bonding of polyimide/silicon during the curing anddegradation. An essential tool for this work is a quantitative adhesion measurement which can relate the macroscopic adhesion strength to the microscopic interfacial structures. We apply the blister test forthis purpose. In particular, the test is applied to examine the effect of thermal history on the adhesion of PMDA-ODA polyimide on siliconsurface. Our studies show that the test is accurate and sensitive. The adhesion data reveal that increases in adhesion strength coincide with the formation of certain thermal degradation products as revealedin the earlier thermal degradation studies. This suggests a mechanismfor increases in adhesion strength with curing temperature, based on chemical and physical modification of the interface.
