Method of forming patterned polyimide films

摘要

A method of producing patterned polyimide films using wet development of polyimide precursors through a photoresist mask is disclosed. Low thermal coefficient of expansion (TCE) polyimide patterns are formed by starting with a polyamic acid precursor, typically, that derived from 3,3',4,4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic acid dianhydride-p-phenylenediamine (BPDA-PDA). Polyimide patterns are generated with complete retention of the intrinsic properties of the polyimide backbone chemistry and formation of metallurgical patterns in low TCE polyimide dielectric.
