Definitions
- the present invention relates to stacks of thin films used as capacitors.
- PCBs Printed circuit boards
- Printed circuit boards (PCBs) have a limitation of using roll form or powder/ electrolytic capacitors suspended over or under the board. It would be desirable to have a flat capacitor that can be attached directly to the board, or be integrated in the board with adequate electrical parameters and stability. As such, it is an object of the invention to provide such a capacitor.
- a capacitor that includes alternating layers of tantalum pentoxide or niobium pentoxide and an electrically conductive polymer film such as H.C. Starck, Inc.'s Baytron ® line of polythiophene-based polymers.
- an electrically conductive polymer film such as H.C. Starck, Inc.'s Baytron ® line of polythiophene-based polymers.
- many types of thin conductive polymer films can be used.
- the invention relates to a thin film capacitor that includes (a) a substrate, (b) a first polymeric film comprising an electrically conductive polymer located on the substrate, (c) a pentoxide layer selected from the group consisting of tantalum pentoxide, or niobium pentoxide, and mixtures thereof, located on a surface of the first polymeric film, (d) a second polymeric film comprising a conductive polymer located on a surface of the pentoxide layer.
- Fig. 1 shows schematically an embodiment of a capacitor made in accordance with the invention
- Fig. 2 is a photograph of such a capacitor
- Figs. 3a, and 3b show schematically serial and parallel connections of a conductive poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) film (Baytron) oxide array with 3 layers. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
- the invention relates to a thin film capacitor comprising (a) a substrate, (b) a first polymeric film comprising a conductive polymer located on the substrate, (c) a pentoxide layer selected from the group consisting of tantalum pentoxide, or niobium pentoxide, and mixtures thereof, and (d) a second polymeric film comprising a conductive polymer located on the pentoxide layer.
- the substrate can be any substrate, which when used in accordance with the invention, enables the resulting thin film capacitor to be used in its intended application.
- the substrate is a non- conductive substrate and can be selected from materials such as vinyl polymers, olefin polymers or polyester polymers.
- the thickness of the substrate is generally at least about about 0.01 mm.
- the thickness of the substrate can vary widely, depending on the application. In one embodiment, the thickness ranges from about 0.01 to about 1 mm.
- a polymeric film can include any electrically conductive polymer, which when used in accordance with the invention, enables the resulting thin film capacitor to be used in its intended use.
- Suitable conductive polymers include polyaniline-based polymers, polypyrrole- based polymers, polyethyleneoxide-based polymers, polythiophene-based polymers, and mixtures or copolymers thereof. These polymers are well known in the art.
- conductive polymers are included in the BAYTRON ® line of conductive polymers, available from H.C. Starck, Inc, preferably conductive poly(3,4ethylene dioxythiophene), as described in US. Patent 5,035,926, incorporated herein in its entirety.
- Such polymers are preferably synthesized by mixing the corresponding monomer in solution with iron(lll)p-toluenesulfonate held in organic solvents such as isopropanol or ethanol. When polymerized, an iron salt precipitate appears which is removed by washing with water.
- the conductive polymer can also be provided as an aqueous solution in the presence of poly(styrenesulfonic acid) which serves as a colloid stabilizer.
- these conductive polymers exhibit high conductivity, high transparency in thin films, high stability, and easy processing.
- the fields of application of these polymers include but are not limited to antistatic coating of plastics, antistatic coating of glass, electrostatic coating of plastics, capacitor electrodes (tantalum and aluminum), through-hole plating of printed circuit boards (PCBs), and polymer light emitting diode displays.
- Boytron P is an aqueous polymer dispersion that exhibits good adhesion. If necessary, adhesion can be improved by addition of binders. Such an aqueous dispersion is easily applied to plastic and glass surfaces, e.g., by printing or spraying, and is water-based and thus environmentally friendly.
- the conductive polymer is generally combined with suitable binders for coating.
- suitable binders include but are not limited to polyvinyl acetate, polycarbonate, polyvinyl butyrate, polyacrylates, polymethacrylates, polystyrene, polyacrylonitrile, polyvinyl chloride, polybutadiene, polyisoprene, polyethers, polyesters, silicones, pyrrole/acecrylate, vinyl acetate/acrylate, ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymers, poly vinyl alcohols.
- the thickness of a conductive polymeric film is generally at least about 50 nanometers and preferably ranges from about 100 nanometers to about 10 micrometers, depending on the application.
- the invention relates to a thin film capacitor including (a) a substrate, (b) a first polymeric conductive layer located on a surface of the substrate and (c) a plurality of alternating pentoxide layer/polymeric conductive layers extending from the first polymeric layer, wherein the total number of pentoxide layers is n and the total number of polymeric conductive layers is n+1 , in which n preferably ranges from 1 to 30.
- there can be 2 to 20 layers of each of the components generally more conductive film layer than oxide layers). Serial or parallel connections can be made to each of the virtual capacitors in such a stack.
- the whole stack of films is on a non-conductive substrate such as a vinyl, olefin or polyester film.
- a non-conductive substrate such as a vinyl, olefin or polyester film.
- each of the conductive films is about one micron thick and applied by printing, spraying or other wet methods from liquid or solution precursors.
- each of the Ta, Nb-oxide films is about one micron thick and applied by reaction physical vapor deposition (PVD) or chemical methods from liquid or vapor precursors.
- PVD reaction physical vapor deposition
- Ta or Nb can be applied and oxidized in situ.
- the capacitors so made have an advantage over known Ta 2 O 5 /Cu/Ta 2 O 5 /Cu.... stacks in that the present stacks will be less susceptible to deterioration under influence of environmental humidity.
- a short stack (2-4 layers each of oxide and polymer) can be transparent.
- Fig. 1 shows schematically an embodiment of a capacitor 10 made per the invention.
- a polymer substrate 12 e.g. MylarTM film
- a polythiophene conductor 14 is coated with a one micron layer of polythiophene conductor 14, in turn overlaid with a 100 nanometer tantalum pentoxide film 16 then another one micron layer 18 of the conductor.
- Silver connection pads 20 are applied to the layers 14 and 18.
- Such a capacitor was fabricated. It was tested at five volts and showed a capacitance of about 350 nanofards per sq. cm. of oxide area.
- Fig. 2 is a photograph of such a capacitor with reference numbers indicating the Fig. 1 layers. Fiduciary 1 cm., 1 in. (2.54 cm) markers are shown. The circle of conductive layers 14 is about 2.75 in. (6.98 cm) in diameter.
- the capacitor can be made in 1-30 oxide layers alternating with the conductive layers. If desired the substrate film 12 can have a silicone coating and be removed after building the capacitor.
- the capacitor can be made having more than 30 oxide layers.
- Figs. 3 a, b show schematically capacitors 10A, 10B with serial and parallel connections of a conductive film (Baytron)-oxide array with three layers of oxide 16, 26, and 36 and four of conductive film 14, 18, 24, and 28, each layer being about one micron.
- a conductive film Boytron
- a thin film capacitor of the invention is generally made by (i) applying a polymeric film comprising a conductive polymer located on a substrate, (ii) applying a pentoxide layer, tantalum pentoxide, or niobium pentoxide, or mixtures thereof to the polymeric conductive layer, and (iii) applying a second conductive polymer located on the pentoxide layer.
- the process steps can be repeated, depending on the number of component layers desired.
- the solution is spread out on the substrate, by any suitable method, such as printing, bar coating, spin coating, or dip coating. After the solution has been applied a drying step is needed to evaporate the carrier solvent(s). In some cases it is advantageous to add some additional solvents and/or binders to the Baytron P solution, which in some cases increases the adherence of the film to the substrate.
- the monomer and oxidant solution are mixed into one solution.
- the solution needs to be spread out on the substrate, which can be accomplished by any known wet method (such as printing, bar coating, spin coating, dip coating). After the solution has been applied a drying step is needed to evaporate the carrier solvent(s). The resulting polymer film is then washed to remove any salts that are formed during the polymerization.
- the methods of establishing the ultra-thin but dense and highly dielectric oxide film include but are not limited to: (a) physical vapor deposition (PVD) methods of, e.g., reactive sputtering or laser or EB scan heating of Ta, Nb targets to form oxide as deposited;
- PVD physical vapor deposition
