Laser Programmed Conducting Polymers

建议将紫外光诱导电导率发展成为半导体工业的一种可行技术，并研究有机材料电导率大幅增加的机理。将对优化聚合物中激光诱导导电性所需的关键激光和材料参数进行研究。最初，一系列简单的器件，如电阻和通孔，将通过直接激光照射聚合物来制造。后来，人们对诸如只读存储器之类的集成结构很感兴趣。开发了一种通过直接激光图案化在聚酰胺中产生亚100 nm线条的技术。建议对这种结构的电学性质进行研究。

It is proposed to develop ultraviolet laser induced conductivity into a viable technology for the semiconductor industry, and to investigate the mechanisms for these large conductivity increases in organic materials. An investigation of the crucial laser and materials parameters necessary to optimize laser induced conductivity in polymers will be undertaken. Initially, a hierarchy of simply devices such as resistors and vias will be fabricated by direct laser irradiation of polymers. Later, integrated structures such as ROM's are of interest. A technique has been developed to produce sub 100 nm lines in polyamide by direct laser patterning. It is proposed to investigate the electrical properties of such structures.
