Title: Metallization on Poly(tetrafluoroethylene) Substrate by Excimer-Laser-Induced Surface Reaction and Chemical Plating
Abstract: Surface of poly(tetrafluoroethylene) [PTFE] film was modified chemically by an ArF excimer laser-induced reaction in a hydrazine gas atmosphere. The polymer surface defluorinated with the photolyzed hydrazine showed hydrophilicity high enough to be metallized by chemical plating. The mechanism for the modification was investigated by XPS, FTIR, and SIMS analyses. A patterned nickel plating having a sufficient adhesion strength was carried out by the area-selective laser-treatment. This processing provides a fullyadditive method for fabrication of printed wiring boards with PTFE substrates.
