Polymeric Microelectronics

Abstract

This report contains the results of more than two years' effort to examine applications for microelectronics and integrated optics of several classes of organic materials. The first class was ultraviolet curable elastomers; the second was liquid crystals. The principal goal of studying the elastomers was to create microstructures that could be electroded and deformed under applied voltage. Although theoretical calculations indicated that deformations of as much as 20 percent could be obtained, experimental values fell far short of this. However, as a result of this work it was learned that such materials as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) could be electroded with conductive and reflective metallic films by evaporation at low temperatures.
