Research abstract
THE PROPOSED EFFORT WILL ESTABLISH THE FEASIBILITY OF PRODUCING HOLLOW QUARTZ FILAMENT SUITABLE FOR USE AS REINFORCEMENT IN HIGH PERFORMANCE PRINTED WIRING BOARD APPLICATIONS. IF SUCCESSFUL THE EFFORT WILL PRODUCE AND FIBER SUITABLE FOR REINFORCING A POLYMIDE RESIN SYSTEM WITH THE POTENTIAL OF POSSESSING A DIELECTRIC CONSTANT SUBSTANTIALLY LESS THAN 3.5 WITH A COEFFICIENT OF THERMAL EXPANSION MATCHING THAT OF CURRENT STATE-OF-THE-ART LEADLESS PERIMETER GRID ARRAY CERAMIC CHIP CARRIERS IN THE LAMINATE FORM. THIS WILL ALLOW INCREASED SIGNAL SPEED AND HIGH BOARD/COMPONENT ATTACHMENT RELIABILITY.
