Abstract

The thermal stability of Ag deposited on parylene-n (Pa-n) was studied for its application in ultralarge scale integrated (ULSI) circuits. No interaction of phase formation between Ag and Pa-n and the structure was found to be electrically stable even at high temperatures. Surface treatment of Pa-n with oxygen plasma improved the adhesion between Ag and Pa-n without sacrificing the thermal and electrical stability of the system.
