Synthesis and Characterization of the Bismaleimides Containing Aliphatic-ether Chain for Microelectronics Application

Abstract

This project aims to develop and characterize a series of bismaleimide (BMI) polymers based on maleic anhydride and aliphatic-ether diamines. The effects of varying the chain length of aliphatic-ether diamines on the resultant bismaleimide systems were evaluated so that their suitability for microelectronics applications could be evaluated. The synthetic reaction and properties of the bismaleimide materials were investigated using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), ThermoGravimetric Analysis (TGA), Dielectric Thermal Analysis (DEA) and rheometry. Results showed that thermal, dielectric and rheological properties were all affected by the main chain length of BMI. The magnitude of the dielectric constant at 100 kHz increases with the increasing chain length. The curing peak temperature, curing heat and degradation temperature of BMI, all decrease with the increasing chain length.
