Polymers have played and continue to play an integral part in the electronics revolution. Practical areas helped by the contribution of advanced polymer technology include microelectronic circuits, packaging and interconnection of electronic components, and dielectrics. The potential of polymers to advance the state of the art in these fields continues to stimulate chemists to explore the fundamental scientific principles of these technologies. This 50 chapter book is organized into eight sections, each representing a specific field. Fundamentals in radiation chemistry and resist materials for electron, X-ray, and optical lithography are discussed in the first three sections. Topics presented next include etch resistance in plasma environments, photonic applications and developments, dielectric applications, and electronics packaging and interconnection. The last section of this volume describes the technology of conducting polymers.
Polymers for High Technology presents advances in polymeric materials that will lead to heightened awareness of research opportunities. Chemists in many fields of research, both industrial and academic, will value this volume as the stepping stone to further advances in polymer technology.
