ABSTRACT:
Methods for adhering polyimide dielectric materials to copper-, titanium-, aluminum-, or copper-and-titanium-containing portions of a substrate are described. The methods include the steps of applying adhesion promoter to a clean surface of the substrate, and curing the adhesion promoter. SPIE varnish is applied over the cured adhesion promoter, and is itself cured. A further layer of adhesion promoter is applied over the cured SPIE varnish, and is cured. The polyimide dielectric material is then laminated to the adhesion promoter. Cleaning of the copper-containing substrate portions is performed by etching with etchant including cupric chloride, cleaning of the titanium-containing substrate portions is performed with etchant including HF, and cleaning of copper- and titanium-containing portions is performed by HF etching followed by cupric chloride etching. Aluminum-containing portions of the substrate are not etched.
