Comparative Study of Electroless Copper Film on Different Self-Assembled Monolayers Modified ABS Substrate

Abstract

Copper films were grown on (3-Mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane (MPTMS), (3-Aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) and 6-(3-(triethoxysilyl)propylamino)-1,3,5- triazine-2,4-dithiol monosodium (TES) self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) modified acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) substrate via electroless copper plating. The copper films were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Their individual deposition rate and contact angle were also investigated to compare the properties of SAMs and electroless copper films. The results indicated that the formation of copper nuclei on the TES-SAMs modified ABS substrate was faster than those on the MPTMS-SAMs and APTES-SAMs modified ABS substrate. SEM images revealed that the copper film on TES-SAM modified ABS substrate was smooth and uniform, and the density of copper nuclei was much higher. Compared with that of TES-SAMs modified resin, the coverage of copper nuclei on MPTMS and APTES modified ABS substrate was very limited and the copper particle size was too big. The adhesion property test demonstrated that all the SAMs enhanced the interfacial interaction between copper plating and ABS substrate. XRD analysis showed that the copper film deposited on SAM-modified ABS substrate had a structure with Cu(111) preferred orientation, and the copper film deposited on TES-SAMs modified ABS substrate is better than that deposited on MPTMS-SAMs or APTES-SAMs modified ABS resins in electromigrtion resistance.

Biomass Oxidation: Formyl CH Bond Activation by the Surface Lattice Oxygen of Regenerative CuO Nanoleaves

“…The nanoleaf is an assembly of 1D nanowires, in agreement with the proposed formation mechanism of 2D CuO by transformation and assembly of 1D Cu(OH) 2 10. The spent catalyst, upon removal of oxygen from the CuO lattice and after being reduced to Cu, however, acquires sphere‐like morphology11 (Figure 2 c). After post‐treating the spent CuO residues in oxygen flow for 120 minutes, almost complete transformation of sphere‐like Cu particles back to leaf‐like CuO morphology is observed (Figure 2 e).…”

Selective Electroless Metallization of Micro- and Nanopatterns via Poly(dopamine) Modification and Palladium Nanoparticle Catalysis for Flexible and Stretchable Electronic Applications

“…The electroless deposition of Ni and Ag on the PI and PTFE films was further confirmed by EDS analysis on the as-fabricated Ni and Ag letters (Figures S11 and S12, Supporting Information). The grain sizes of electroless plated metals on PTFE films were smaller than those on PI films for both Ni and Ag, which may be correlated to the nucleation densities of the terminate group of the PDA on different substrates . However, the underlying mechanism need to be further investigated.…”
