Abstract

The mechanical, thermal, electrical and moisture absorption properties of rod-like, fluorinated polyimides and copolyimides developed in our laboratory are briefly reviewed. Further characterization work on the most promising candidates for interlayer dielectric applications is reported. This includes in- and out-of-plane refractive index measurements to estimate the isotropy of the dielectric constant, isothermal TGA measurements to assess thermal stability at processing temperatures and dynamic-mechanical analysis to ascertain the glass transition temperature and the mechanical modulus at temperatures in excess of the glass transition
