Contributor Zhang, K. (mentor) Li, X. (mentor) Faculty Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science Department EWI-ECTM Programme Microelectronics Date 2015-11-25 Abstract A new method of flexible interposer with vertically aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) embedded in polymer is proposed in this thesis. Interposer, working as electrical routing between different sockets or connections, is being used for spreading connections and rerouting in packaging technology nowadays. With the rapidly growing application of wearable electronics, flexible interposer plays a crucial role to meet the requirements of flexibility and high-density integration capability for interconnection. However, current flexible interposers, usually composed of metal and polyimide, have material physical limits, and heat resistance caused by pattern shrinkage etc. Vertically aligned CNT is an one dimensional conductive material with higher current density and longer electron free path than common used interconnection material, which could be used for interconnection. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), as one of the most widely used elastomeric polymers in MEMS applications, has the advantages of low cost and easy fabrication. A flexible interposer combined the merits of CNT and PDMS was investigated in this work.
