Abstract
Polytetrafluoroethylene was composited with low dielectric constant hollow SiO2 powders to obtain an ultra-low dielectric constant high-frequency microwave composite substrate. The analysis of XPS, contact angle testing, and SEM observation were conducted to study the surface characteristics of phenyltrimethoxysilane (Z6124)-modified hollow silica and 1 H,1 H,2 H,2 H-perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane (F8261)-modified hollow silica. The content of hollow silica ranged from 35 to 55 vol% and the effects of hollow silica filling content on water absorption, morphology, and dielectric properties were investigated in detail. The composite material with 45 vol% hollow SiO2 modified by 5 wt.% Z6124 performed excellent dielectric properties of ultra-low dielectric constant (1.94) and low dielectric loss (0.0019) at a high frequency of 10 GHz. Moreover, it also has acceptable water absorption (0.19%) and well coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE ~ 55.5 ppm/°C). The ultra-low dielectric constant composite is beneficial to improve signal transmission speed, which is potential for microwave substrates application.
