FIG. 3.

Schematic representation of the proposed mechanism for interconnect formation illustrating the effect of initiation loci on macromer densification forces during cure. Organic phase initiation results in sufficient densification forces as the macromer chains convert to polymer to tear the thin film between droplets and open pores. Red indicates initiator, yellow indicates macromer, and green indicates the loci of initiation and regions where cross-linking is occurring. Color images available online at www.liebertpub.com/tea
