Abstract

Severe excimer laser irradiation is reported to impart electrical conductivity to Kapton* polymide films. We find that a proper choice of pretreatment and irradiation practice reduces the required dose markedly. Such films have sufficient conductivity to permit direct, good-quality, adherent copper electroplating.H.M.Phillips, D.L.Callahan, R.Sauerbrey, G.Szabo and Z.Bor; Appl.Phys.Lett.58, 2761 (1991).
