The purpose of this study is to identify the effect of electrolyte compositions on electrodeposited copper foil. First of all, the polyimide substrate was pretreated with plasma. Finally, copper foil was deposited on a Cu/Ni/Polyimide substrate using the electroplating technique. As the quantity of Cu increased, preferred orientations changed into (111). Increasing sulfuric acid, on the other hand, brought down the preferred orientation of (111). The lowest sheet resistance, surface roughness, and fine adhesion were detected when the ratio of $Cu^{2+}$ and $H_2SO_4$ is 50:50(g/l).

Polyimides (PIs) exhibit excellent thermal stability, mechanical, dielectric, and chemical resistance properties due to their heterocyclic imide rings and aromatic rings on the backbone. Due to these advantageous properties, PIs have found diverse applications in industry. Most PIs are insoluble because of the nature of the high chemical resistance. Thus, they are generally used as a soluble precursor polymer, which forms complexes with solvent molecules, and then finally converts to the corresponding polyimides via imidization reaction. This complexation with solvent has caused severe difficulty in the characterization of the precursor polymers. However, significant progress has recently been made on the detailed characterization of PI precursors and their imidization reaction. On the other hand, much research effort has been exerted to reduce the dielectric constant of PIs, as demanded in the microelectronics industry, through chemical modifications, as well as to develop high performance, light-emitting PIs and liquid crystal (LC) alignment layer PIs with both rubbing and rubbing-free processibility, which are desired in the flat-panel display industry. This article reviews this recent research progresses in characterizing PIs and their precursors and in developing low dielectric constant, light-emitting, and LC alignment layer PIs.

In this paper, the inorganic-organic thin film encapsulation layer was newly adopted to protect the organic layer from moisture and oxygen. Using the electron beam, Sputter and Spin-Coater system, the various kinds of inorganic and organic thin-films were deposited onto the Ethylene Terephthalate(PET) and their interface properties between organic and inorganic layer were investigated Results indicates that the SiON/PI/SiON/PI/PET barrier coatings have high potential for flexible organic light-emitting diode(OLED) application.

Pentacene thin film transistors (OTFTs) on flexible polyimide substrate using electroplated gate electrode and organic/high-k inorganic bilayer gate dielectric layer. Incorporation of thin atomic-layer deposited $HfO_2$ layer on the PVP organic gate dielectric layer reduced the gate leakage and as a result enhanced the current on/off ratio.

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.

ZnO-based transparent conductive films have been widely studied to achieve high performance optoelectronic devices such as next generation flexible and transparent display systems. In order to achieve a transparent flexible ZnO-based device, a low temperature growth technique using a flexible polymer substrate is required. In this work, high quality flexible ZnO films were grown on colorless polyimide substrate using atomic layer deposition (ALD). Transparent ZnO films grown from 80 to 200℃ were fabricated with a metal-semiconductor-metal structure photodetectors (PDs). As the growth temperature of ZnO film increases, the photocurrent of UV PDs increases, while the sensitivity of that decreases. In addition, it is found that the response times of the PDs become shorter as the growth temperature increases. Based on these results, we suggest that high-quality ZnO film can be grown below 200℃ in an atomic layer deposition system, and can be applied to transparent and flexible UV PDs with very fast response time and high photocurrent.

본 논문은 UV(ultraviolet) 처리된 자기 조립 단분자막(fluorinated self-assembled monolayers; FSAM)을 배향막으로 사용한 액정의 배향 특성을 분석하였다. 물리화학적 분석을 사용하여 UV 처리 전후의 ITO(indium-tin-oxide) 유리 기판의 FSAM 특성을 확인하였다. FSAM 표면은 UV 처리에 의해 소수성에서 친수성으로 변화하였다. LC(liquid crystal) 분자는 UV 처리된 FSAM 표면에서 수평방향으로 정렬되었고 선경사각도 90°에서 0°로 변화하였다. UV 처리된 FSAM을 배향막으로 사용하여 제작된 TN(twist nematic) 셀의 전기광학(electro optics; EO) 특성은 기존의 PI(polyimide) 배향막에 비해 응답 시간이 빠른 것을 확인하였다. 이는 UV 처리된 FSAM 이 LCD(liquid crystal display)의 기존 폴리이미드 배향막을 대체할 잠재적인 가능성을 가진다.

The effect of liquid crystal (LC) alignment on a homeotropic polyimide (PI) surface induced by ion beam (IB) irradiation and rubbing process was studied. LC alignment was not affected by IB irradiation with an exposure time of 10 s, and an IB irradiation with an exposure time of 60 s more effectively oriented the LCs on the PI layer than the rubbing process. It was assumed that the LC alignment depended on the C-O bonds created from the C=O bonds on the PI surface broken by IB irradiation after an exposure time of 60 s, which resulted in a strong surface energy that transformed the homeotropic LC alignment to homogeneous states.

Using an aromatic system, we made a ultra thin insulator through LB-method. We measured and wrote down afternating currant characteristics of ultraviolet rays extincting-spectrum and I.R extincting-spectrum. We surveyed the thickness of a film through X-ray diffracting method and certified about $4{\AA}$ by the layer. Measuring the characteristics of direct current voltage and electric current with this sample, we produced its conductivity and discovered that this sample had a god insulating performance. Addition to this, we measured the characteristics of voltage and electric current, and the temperature dependency of conductivity in a high voltage system and with these results tried to interpret a mechanism of conduction.
