Abstract

Polyimides are finding increased use as dielectric materials in multi-level metallization technology, which is the key to high-density packaging applications for microelectronics.

Newly developed photosensitive polyimidesiloxane (SIM2000XL-RTS) has been evaluated in terms of thermal stability, photosensitivity and lithography as well as dielectric breakdown properties. The sensitivity to N2 laser exposure has been measured under optimized process conditions. We also find that SIM2000XL-RTS can be processed up to 350°C without significant decomposition. Micron-scale contact images can be successfully patterned by both N2 laser and conventional UV lamp exposure. The dielectrical breakdown field strength of SIM2000XL-RTS is about 4 MV/cm by sandwich measurements.
