For the protection of semiconducting polymers within organic LEDs a glass layer is the method of choice, providing optimized sealing except for the edge areas. Disadvantage of glass as a sealing material is its rigidity and its sensitivity against mechanical stress. For the realization of low cost applications as smart labels / RF ID tags besides barrier properties also mechanical protection is needed to ensure device functionality. This is especially true when these devices need to operate within harsh environment. Various approaches are possible to apply such barrier layers, typically CVD/PVD or spin coating are used, to yield thin, homogeneous layers of encapsulants of 1 to 5 μm thickness. For the high speed encapsulation of large areas also lamination is discussed, where multilayer films are applied using temperature and pressure, layer thickness is in the range of 5 to 30 μm. As a further technology, suited for the deposition of low viscosity liquid barrier materials, film coating processes are proposed. Focus of the technology development described is the application of homogeneous coating on large areas. Expected advantage is the contactless application at high speed on large area substrates, especially useful on substrates showing a 3D topography, as present with devices integrating heterogeneous structures as organic semiconductors (OSC), printed passives or coils.","PeriodicalId":436133,"journal":{"name":"Polytronic 2005 - 5th International Conference on Polymers and Adhesives in Microelectronics and Photonics","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124972790","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}

This results in the unparalleled possibility of creating new, so far impossible to manufacture products as well as application technologies. Consequently, this results in a significant increase in the possibility of miniaturization of elements of electronic systems by reducing the dimensions of its elements themselves as well as increasing the density of their compaction. Polymer composites containing silver particles of single nanometers (several atoms) may be printed with the application of the Ink-Jet method in order to obtain a line or 'points' being electricity conductors or contacts in electronic assembly. The Ink-Jet printing method utilizes the percussive effect of a piezoelectric compressing capillary element within microsecond and thus resulting in sudden 'expenditure' of the dosed composition. During the very dosing process, the dosed portion is affected by acceleration of 105g, which may cause separation of elements of various specific weights from the dosed composition. Therefore, the physically best composition has the features of a specific solution in which the filler conducting electricity (silver) has the dimensions insignificantly differing from the dimensions of the binder in which it is 'suspended'. One of the crucial technical problems is the production of silver particles separated from one another and of adequately small and repetitive at defined time dimensions.","PeriodicalId":436133,"journal":{"name":"Polytronic 2005 - 5th International Conference on Polymers and Adhesives in Microelectronics and Photonics","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128489025","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}

In previous report, it was found that the loss of peel strength during the heat-resistance test was improved by using copper-0.02% zirconium (Cu-Zr) alloy foil and a thicker sputter of copper-45% nickel (Cu-45Ni) or nickel-20% chromium (Ni-20Cr) alloys [5]. These improved materials showed excellent interface conductivity at high frequency and etching property. In this report, we tried to produce more improved materials with different sputtering metals and investigated various characteristics of the laminated materials such as scattering parameter (S21), etching property, and dimensional stability for the FPCs. It was clarified that the sputter metal of higher nickel content alloys prevented from the interface oxidation of the Cu-Zr alloy foil/LCP film laminated materials (Cu-Zr/LCP materials) after heat-resistance test. Especially in copper-80% nickel (Cu-80Ni)or nickel-10% chromium (Ni-10Cr) alloy, the peel strength of the laminated materials kept around 500N/m even after 144 hour heating. The S21 of micro-strip line of the laminated materials showed half attenuation when comparing with that produced by the conventional heat bonding method.

This procedure highly restricts choice of substances which can be entrapped in the glass products. Basically only metal oxides and some inorganic salts can survive such drastic conditions avoiding thermal decomposition. Furthermore, the way in which conventional glass is produced makes thin films preparation extremely cumbersome and the only method of preparation of porous classical glasses requires etching or partial dissolving (e.g. Vycor® glass). On the other hand glass and glassy materials possess several useful features for e.g. optical applications such as transparency, homogeneity, mechanical sturdiness, high refractive index etc. An alternative approach to glass and glass-like materials production is offered by the sol-gel technology. The process itself is known for more than a century, but it has gained a new importance in the last two decades after pioneering results of Dislich. He and other researchers improved the chemistry of the process so much that it is now possible to obtain samples in days (or even hours — in case of thin films) rather than months (or years) like in the case of the early samples. The sol-gel technique is based on hydrolysis of liquid precursors and formation of colloidal sols. The precursors are usually organosilicates (e.g. TEOS — tetraethoxysilane) giving silicate sol-gel materials. However, the method is not restricted to the silica compounds — for example precursors based on Ti, Zr, V etc.","PeriodicalId":436133,"journal":{"name":"Polytronic 2005 - 5th International Conference on Polymers and Adhesives in Microelectronics and Photonics","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116178466","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}

This paper illustrates how the printed conductor area of the antenna can be reduced by applying a grid pattern to an existing antenna geometry and to what extent the gridding can be performed without significantly degrading of the antenna electrical properties. Two common antenna structures are used as an example. It is also shown that by slightly modifying the original antenna geometry it is possible to even further reduce the amount of used ink.","PeriodicalId":436133,"journal":{"name":"Polytronic 2005 - 5th International Conference on Polymers and Adhesives in Microelectronics and Photonics","volume":"220 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116491344","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}

The process of natural aging, which caused changes in parameters of PC elements, influenced also the changes in characteristics of the system composed of these elements. For EL element subjected to aging in normal conditions without applied voltage, the luminance of the light was lower by about 20% than for element immediately after their preparation.
