Metallization of polyimide films with enlarged area by conducting the catalyzation in supercritical carbon dioxide
Polyimide (PI) films are metallized utilizing supercritical CO2 catalyzation (SCC). SCC allows metallization of PI films having size larger than the reaction cell. Resistivity is ranged from 13.6 to 1.4 ? with an increase in the Ni thickness. Adhesion strengths are ranged from 3.3 to 1.5MPa with increase in the thickness.
