Adhesion Reliability of Cu-Cr Alloy Films to Polyimide
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
CuCr alloys with varying Cr content were sputter deposited on polyimide films, and the metal/polyimide films were maintained under 350°C/N2 environment up to 10 hours for reliability measurements. Before exposure to 350°C, the peel strength increased proportionally with the Cr content in the alloy layer up to 17% and saturated. After exposure to 350°C, the peel strength dropped for all the specimens due to the formation of Cr2O3 at the metal/polyimide interface, and the effect was most drastic for the specimen with the lowest Cr content, which failed along the Cr-oxide/polyimide interface. Depletion of carbidic bonds at the metal/polyimide interface accompanied the oxide formation, and the result was quite devastating for the specimens with low Cr content in the alloy layer.
