Abstract

Ion beam modification of polyimide (PI) by low energy and surface analysis were performed using XPS. The surface chemistry was monitored as a function of ion dose. The results indicate that even low energy ion beam (LEIB) induces a drastic change in chemical compositions on the PI surface, and the modification begins to occur at the onset of beam treatment, contrary to previous observations. Damage level is severely restricted to surface region. It is also proven that LEIB modification is a direct way to control interface chemistry.
