Abstract

This paper summarizes recent studies on metal-polymer interfaces for Cu, Ni and Cr on a high temperature polymer, polyimide. First some surface and bulk chemical properties of polyimide are described briefly, as measured with surface spectroscopies and verified by theoretical molecular orbital calculations. Then the chemical bonding and reactivity of the three interfaces are described and discussed in light of experimental observations of electronic structure, composition and interface morphology. The chemical trend of increasing reactivity of the interface is illustrated by comparing results from Cu to Cr.
