Adhesion between polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) and metals is rather poor. In this paper an original method for solving the problem of adhesion between PTFE and copper vacuum deposited film is proposed. This method consists of exposing the adhesive joint from the side of the copper film to pulsed laser emission with alternating duration. The attained adhesive strength of the PTFE-copper joint is comparable with cohesive strength of bulk PTFE. The causes of adhesion strengthening of the joint are discussed on the basis of atomic force microscopy (AFM), SEM, and SIMS. It is probable that reinforcement of the PTFE-copper joint after laser treatment results from pulsed heating of the PTFE boundary layer which is interfaced to copper and activation of the adhesive interaction in the presence of oxygen sorbed by metal. It is supposed that this is a necessary condition for reinforcement of the joint. The data obtained deepen our insight on the adhesive interaction in metal-polymer systems under laser treatment. In practice these results might be used for metallic film soldering on polymeric substrates in microelectronics.","PeriodicalId":302609,"journal":{"name":"European Workshop Materials for Advanced Metallization,","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123257536","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An increase in contact resistance is a serious problem in 0.18 and 0.25 /spl mu/m ohmic contact processes.

It has been shown in the literature that contact resistance is inversely proportional to the contact size. However, this resistance is practically proportional to 1/s/sup 4/ or 1/s/sup 5/.

Increasing of contact resistance, peeling of the electrodes and the oxidation of Si surface occurred by the diffusion of O through the Pt/TiN/Si lower electrode are serious problem.
