Metal Interlayers in Polymer Films: A Survey of Deposition Processes, Morphology, Patterning Methods and Physical Properties (original) (raw)

Metallized Plastics 1, 1989

Abstract

Metal interlayer deposition comprises a new family of wet-chemical processes by which a dense, electrically continuous metal film can be grown within the bulk of a pre-existing polymer film. The present article reviews three generic forms of the process, namely: electroless, polymer-mediated electrochemical, and carrier-mediated electrochemical deposition. Experimental examples are given with particular emphasis on polyimides as the matrix material. Mechanistic principles which govern the kinetics and morphology of the deposition are described.
