In this work we present a process to fabricate lowtemperature polysilicon (LTPS) TFTs on polyimide (PI) layers, spin-coated on Si-wafer used as rigid carrier. This process has been then used to fabricate elementary circuits as well as circuits for sensor applications.

The electrical characteristics of organic thin-filmtransistor (OTFTs) can be improved by inserting adhesion layer on gate dielectrics. Adhesion layer was used as polymeric adhesion layer deposited on inorganic gate insulators such as silicon dioxide $(SiO_2)$ and it was formed by vapor deposition polymerization (VDP) instead of spin-coating process. The OTFTs obtained the on/off ratio $of{\sim}10^4$, threshold voltage of 1.8V, subthreshold slop of 2.9 V/decade and field effect mobility about $0.01\;cm^2/Vs$.

We synthesized polymethacrylate and polyurethane bearing a photosensitive azobenzene chromophore. Photo-induced birefringence of the thin film was observed under a linearly polarized light(λ = 532 nm). Dynamic behaviors of birefringence in two polymers were investigated in terms of the rate constants of growth and decay. An induced dichroism was observed from polarized UV-VIS absorption spectroscopy. Layers of two photosensitive polymers were used for aligning liquid crystal (LC) molecules instead of one of the rubbed polyimide layers in the conventional twisted nematic cell. For producing homogeneous alignment of a nematic LC molecule, a linearly polarized light was exposed to the films of two polymers. The stability of the LC alignment upon the linearly polarized light exposure was also studied.

This paper describes the thermally stimulated current(TSC) measurements arachidic acid(AA) and polyamic acid alkylamine salts(PAAS) LB film, which is a precursor of polyimide(PI). The measurements were performed from room temperature to about 250$^{\circ}C$ and the temperature was increased at a rate of 0.02 $^{\circ}C$/s linearly[4]. It shows that peaks of TSC are observed at about 80$^{\circ}C$ in the arachidic acid and about 80$^{\circ}C$, 160$^{\circ}C$ in the PAAS LB films. The DSC and TGA of PAAS, arachidic acid are measure. Monolayer phases on the water subphase such as Langmuir(L) films and the phase transitions from gas phase to solid phase via liquid phase are observed using Brewster angle microscopy(BAM). BAM is also used to observe the Langemuir-Blodgett(LB) films.

스퍼터링법으로 제작된 FCCL은 PI필름(Poly-imide film)과 Cu layer사이에 Tie-coating layer로 Ni-Cr을 많이 사용한다. 하지만 완성된 FCCL에서 페터닝을 실시할 때 Cr성분이 소멸되지 않고 잔존하는 현상으로 누설전류가 발생 한다. 또한 Cr으로 인해 Eatching액의 오염으로 재사용의 어려움도 발생된다. 이러한 원인들은 제품의 특성들을 저하 시키므로 이를 개선할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존의 Tie-coating layer를 대체할 물질로 Acrylic acid를 이용하여 FCCL을 제작하여 표면특성 평가를 위해 Contact angle측정과 부착력을 위한 Peel test측정과 조직분석 및 성분분석을 위해 SEM-EDS를 측정을 통하여 Polymerization을 이용한 Ti-coating layer 개발의 가능성을 확인하였다.

This study was attended to demonstrate synthesis of silver nanoparticles stabilized with polymer and their applicability to printed electronics. Silver nanoparticles were synthesized by reduction of silver nitrate in aqueous solution in the presence of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) as a stabilizer. The ink used here is composed of 50 wt% Ag NP, 15 wt% humectant and then were printed on polyimide film. Particle deposit morphologies were controlled by varying the ink compositions. Printed silver patterns and dots were cured on a convection oven in air at $300^{\circ}C$ for 60 min. The printed patterns show good shape definition and the resistivity of the printed films is about $5{\mu}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$.

We present recent results on ablation mechanism, single-pulse laser micropatterning , pulsed-laser deposition(PLD) and particulates formation accompanying laser ablation, with special emplasis on polymers, in particular polymide, (PI), and polytetrafluoroethylene, (PTFE). Ablation of polymers is described on the basis of photothermal bond breaking within the bulk material. Here, we assume a first order chemical reaction, which can be described by an Arrhenius law. Ablation starts when the density of broken bonds at the surface reaches a certain critical value. Single-pulse laser ablation of polyimide shows a clear-length dependence of the threshold fluence. This experimental result strongly supports a thermal ablation model. We discuss the various possibilities and drawbacks of PLD and describe the morphology, physical properties and applications of PTFE films.

Laser processing using holograms can greatly improve processing speed, by spatially distributing the laser energy on the target material. However, it is difficult to reconstruct an image with arrays of closely spaced spots for laser processing, because the specklelike interference pattern prevents the spots from getting close to each other. To resolve this problem, a line target was divided in two, reconstructed with orthogonally polarized beams, and then superposed. Their optical reconstruction was performed by computer-generated holograms and a pulsed laser. With this method, we performed two-dimensional (2D) laser drilling of polyimide film, with a kerf width of $20{\mu}m$ and a total processing length of 20 mm.

We demonstrate a new surface modification of high-voltage lithium cobalt oxide ($LiCoO_2$) cathode active materials for lithium-ion batteries. This approach is based on exploitation of a polarity-tuned gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) coating. Herein, two contrast polymers having different polarity are chosen: polyimide (PI) synthesized from thermally curing 4-component (pyromellitic dianhydride/biphenyl dianhydride/phenylenediamine/oxydianiline) polyamic acid (as a polar GPE) and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) containing 12 wt% vinyl acetate repeating unit (as a less polar GPE). The strong affinity of polyamic acid for $LiCoO_2$ allows the resulting PI coating layer to present a highly-continuous surface film of nanometer thickness. On the other hand, the less polar EVA coating layer is poorly deposited onto the $LiCoO_2$, resulting in a locally agglomerated morphology with relatively high thickness. Based on the characterization of GPE coating layers, their structural difference on the electrochemical performance and thermal stability of high-voltage (herein, 4.4 V) $LiCoO_2$ is thoroughly investigated. In comparison to the EVA coating layer, the PI coating layer is effective in preventing the direct exposure of $LiCoO_2$ to liquid electrolyte, which thus plays a viable role in improving the high-voltage cell performance and mitigating the interfacial exothermic reaction between the charged $LiCoO_2$ and liquid electrolytes.

In this paper, thin films of Polyimide (PI) were fabricated by vapor deposition polymerization method (VDPM) of dry processes. The film's properties with curing temperature and electrical properties were studies. The synthesis of hexafluoroisopropyliden-2,2-bis[phthalic anhydride](6FDA) and 4, 4'-diamino diphenyl ether (DDE) was carried out by vapor deposition polymerization(VDP) with the same deposition rate. The evaporation temperature of 6FDA and DDE were $214^{\circ}C$ and $137^{\circ}C$, respectively, so as to preserve balance of stoichiometry. The polymic acid (PAA) made by VDPM were changed to PI by thermal curing. The uniformity and density of PI thin films were increased according to increasing curing temperature. The relative permittivity and dissipation loss factor were 3.7 and 0.008 at the frequency of 100Hz~200KHz, respectively, for the fabricated in the curing temperature of $300^{\circ}C$. Also, the resistivity was about 1.05$\times$$ 10^{15}$$\Omega$cm at $30^{\circ}C$.
