Abstract:To develop novel methods for conducting PEDOT coating and fully added PCB ,PI films were immersed in NaOH ,H2 O2 ,FeCl3 and EDOT solutions sequentially .The surface compositions and conduc-tivities of the PI films were examined .The effect of VUV irradiation on the conductivity was investigated and patterning PEDOT coatings was tried with VUV and mask .The growth of electroplated Cu foils on conducting PEDOT was revealed with SEM .After immersed in H2 O2 and FeCl3 solution ,peroxide and FeCl3 attached to PI at mmol/m2 .In EDOT solution the attached oxidants dissolved and converted EDOT to PEDOT in the stagnant layer and conducting PEDOT coatings generated on PI .The sheet resistance of the PI film could decrease to 400 Ω/□ .172 nm VUV reduced the conductivity and created conductive pat-terns through masks .In electrolytic cell ,conducting PEDOT could transport electrons to cupric ions and reduce the cupric ions to copper atoms .The reduced copper atoms deposited on the surface of conducting PEDOT ,forming nuclei and developing into acicular ,dendritic ,spindle crystals and continuous copper foil ,thereby ,conductive patterns were changed into copper patterns .
