摘要:
A corrosion resistant, multi-layer structure on a substrate including an adhesion metallic layer on the substrate, a cushion metallic layer on the adhesion layer, a diffusion barrier layer on the cushion layer, and an impermeable gold layer that encapsulates all the layers, is substantially even on all sides of the layers, and contacts a region on the substrate adjacent the layers to prevent oxidation and corrosion.
摘要:
A thin film transistor (TFT) device structure based on an organic semiconductor material, that exhibits a high field effect mobility, high current modulation and a low sub-threshold slope at lower operating voltages than the current state of the art organic TFT devices. The structure comprises a suitable substrate disposed with he following sequence of features: a set of conducting gate electrodes covered with a high dielectric constant insulator, a layer of the organic semiconductor, sets of electrically conducting source and drain electrodes corresponding to each of the gate lines, and an optional passivation layer that can overcoat and protect the device structure.Use of high dielectric constant gate insulators exploits the unexpected gate voltage dependence of the organic semiconductor to achieve high field effect mobility levels at very low operating voltages. Judicious combinations of the choice of this insulator material and the means to integrate it into the TFT structure are taught that would enable easy fabrication on glass or plastic substrates and the use of such devices in flat panel display applications.

A composition containing a polymeric matrix and a conductive filler component is provided. The conductive filler component comprises conductive particles and a polymer selected from the group consisting of substituted and unsubstituted polyanilines, substituted and unsubstituted polyparaphenylenevinylenes, substituted and unsubstituted polythiophenes, substituted and unsubstituted polyazines, substituted and unsubstituted polyparaphenylenes, substituted and unsubstituted polyfuranes, substituted and unsubstituted polypyrroles, substituted and unsubstituted polyselenophene, substituted and unsubstituted poly-p-phenylene sulfides and substiututed and unsubstituted polyacetylenes, and mixtures thereof, and copolymers thereof. Compositions of the present invention are useful as corrosion protecting layers for metal substrates, for electrostatic discharge protection, electromagnetic interference shielding, and as adhesives for interconnect technology as alternatives to solder interconnections. In addition, films of polyanilines are useful as corrosion protecting layers with or without the conductive metal particles.
摘要:
Silicon and germanium containing materials are used at surface of conductors in electronic devices. Solder can be fluxlessly bonded and wires can be wire bonded to these surfaces. These material are used as a surface coating for lead frames for packaging integrated circuit chips. These materials can be decal transferred onto conductor surfaces or electrolessly or electrolytically disposed thereon.
摘要:
A thin-layer metallization structure in which the final gold layer is deposited by evaporation with the surface onto which it is evaporated maintained at an elevated temperature. By evaporating the uppermost gold layer of the structure at an elevated substrate temperature, the gold atoms have a higher mobility, causing the deposited gold to spread over the edge of the structure and cover the otherwise exposed edges, including the edge at the copper interface.
摘要:
This invention relates generally to structure and method for preventing metal diffusion between a noble metal layer and an adjoining non-noble metal layer, and more specifically to new structures and methods for providing a superbarrier structure between copper and an adjoining noble metal layer. This is achieved by sequentially deposited a layer of non-noble metal, a layer of titanium, a layer of molybdenum, and a layer of noble or relatively less noble metal as the interconnecting metallurgy. This invention also relates to an improved multilayer metallurgical pad or metallurgical structure for mating at least a portion of a pin or a connector or a wire to a substrate.
摘要:
A method is described for providing a body of first material and a body of second material in a chemical environment wherein the first material contains first constituents having a lower and higher oxidation state and wherein the second material contains constituents having an oxidation state of energy greater than lower oxidation state of the first constituent. The environment is further provided with first cations energetically disposed for receiving electrons from the first constituents but not energetically disposed for receiving electrons from the second constituents. Electrons transfer from the first constituents to the first cations which are transformed thereby into second cations of lower oxidation state resulting in first body releasing into the environment third cations which are cations of the first (lower) oxidation state of the first constituent. The environment is further provided with an agent which consumes the second and third cations thereby permitting release into the environment additional ones of the third cations resulting in the first body being preferably etched with respect to the second body. The method is useful to etch copper in the presence of more highly reactive materials such as chrome, lead, tin, titanium, aluminum, iron, cobalt, and galvanically more active gold and nickel. The method is useful for forming structures containing copper having an overlying layer of the more highly reactive material without the requirement of the use of a resist material.
摘要:
A method of forming an adherent layer of metallurgy on a ceramic substrate which includes the steps of obtaining a ceramic material containing a polymeric binder and copper metallurgy patterns within the ceramic body. In one embodiment of the invention, the ceramic body also contains MgO.Thereafter, a surface layer of metallurgy is formed on the surface of the ceramic body. In one embodiment, the surface layer is nickel and in another embodiment, the surface layer is copper or gold.Then, the ceramic body undergoes a sintering cycle which includes the steps of pyrolysis, binder burnoff and, lastly, densification and, in some cases, crystallization. During densification and crystallization, there is a predetermined steam atmosphere which meets the following requirements: a partial pressure of oxygen less than that necessary to satisfy the equilibrium equation 4Cu+O.sub.2 =2Cu.sub.2 O; and a partial pressure of oxygen less than or equal to that necessary to satisfy the equilibrium equation 2Ni+O.sub.2 =2NiO for nickel in said surface metallurgy.
