摘要
A kind of fluorinated and epoxy-terminated low-molecular-weight bisphenol A polycarbonate (FBPA-PC EP) was synthesized by solution polymerization of 4, 4'-(hexafluoro-isopropylidene) diphenol (6F-BPA) with triphosgene (BTC) and further reacted with epoxy chloropropane. The structure of the polymer was confirmed by FTIR, H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR and F-19 NMR spectra. A series of negative-type fluorinated photoresists (NTFPs) were prepared by mixing of FBPA-PC EP and FSU-8 with triphenylsulfonium hexafluorophosphate and cyclopentanone as the photoacid generator (PAG) and solvent. The polymer films prepared from NTFPs by UV-curing exhibited superior chemical resistance, excellent thermal stability (Tds ranged from 295 to 303 degrees C) and low surface roughness. A clear negative pattern was obtained through direct UV photo-cross-linking and then chemical development which can be used as high-quality channel waveguides (the roughness of the lateral ridge ranged from 21 to 32 nm (1 x 1 mu m)). For waveguides with the polymethylmethacrylate as upper cladding, the propagation loss of the channel waveguides was measured to be 0.25 dB/cm at the monitoring light of 1550 nm.
