Research Abstract |
We have succeeded development of fabrication process for polyimide films with embedded metal circuit patterns through combination of soft lithography and direct metallization process. The mechanism of direct metallization process, involving diffusion and reduction of doped metallic ions in polyimide precursors, has been elucidated, and the facile method for metallization of polymer resins by cost-effective, environmentally-friendly chemical process has been developed. In addition, novel processes for fabrication of polymer substrate containing metal nanoparticles and for metallization of polymer substrate through electrochemical constructive lithography have been also successfully developed.
