A rapid growth of mixed-signal integrated circuits is driving the needs of multifunction and miniaturization of the component in electronics applications. Polymer-ceramic composites have been of great interest as embedded capacitor materials because they enabled companies to combine the processability of polymers with the high dielectric constant of ceramics. This paper presents the preparations and performance characterizations of novel polymer-ceramic nanocomposites based on new concepts for embedded capacitor application. First, metal particle nickel-filled nanocomposite with high dielectric constant was evaluated as a candidate for embedded capacitors. Two types of nickel particles were selected with the size of 400 and 150nm, respectively. With proper filler loading and highly dispersed, a high dielectric constant of over 90 was observed with a filler loading ratio of 60-vol%. Second, the surface modification of a barium titanate (BTO) particle was also attempted in nanocomposite. Phthalocyanine-coated BTO (Pc-coated BTO) was selected as filler to prepare the composite. Its dielectric constant was observed as over 80 at 1MHz, which was much higher than that of composite derived from commercial BTO. Last, in order to improve the processability of the nanocomposite, 4, 4'-diphenylmethane bismaleimide (BMI) was selected as a matrix polymer by the combination with polyamide (PA). Higher dielectric constant nanocomposite derived from PA/BMI and Pc-coat BTO was obtained, and its potential application towards embedded capacitors was also evaluated.
