Surface Modification of Polymers for Metal Adhesion

The complete reference source for surface modification of polymers, this book reviews traditional, conventional methods for improving metal adhesion to polymers and introduces new, revolutionary methods for molecular engineering and design of polymer and metal surfaces to enhance their adhesion to one another. The author emphasizes the processes for improving metal-polymer adhesion and their relevance to microelectronics packaging. He illustrates the relevance of the new adhesion processes to the development of next-generation of intermetal dielectrics based on very inert polymers with very low dielectric constants.
