Abstract:
Methods of curing polyimide to tune the coefficient of thermal expansion are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method of curing a polymer layer on a substrate, includes: (a) applying a variable frequency microwave energy to the substrate to heat the polymer layer and the substrate to a first temperature; and (b) adjusting the variable frequency microwave energy to increase a temperature of the polymer layer and the substrate to a second temperature to cure the polymer layer.
