Planarization layer

Lubrication. The slip that readily occurs between layers of graphite planes only partially explains graphite s dry lubricating properties. A suitably adsorbed film such as water must also be present without it graphite ceases to lubricate and may, though rarely does, become abrasive (16). Scrolls (roUed-up layers 1—5 nm) may play a part in the lubricity of graphite by acting as rollers between the planar layers.

(b) Domain 2 of phosphoglycerate kinase, composed of a /3-sheet layer between two layers of helix, three layers overall, (c) An nnnsnal five-layer strnctnre, domain 2 of glycogen phosphorylase, a /S-sheet layer sandwiched between four layers of a-helix. (d) The concentric layers of /S-sheet (inside) and a-helix (outside) in triose phosphate isomerase. Hydrophobic residnes are bnried between these concentric layers in the same manner as in the planar layers of the other proteins. The hydrophobic layers are shaded yellow. (Jane Richarelson)... 

For the still-unsolved, hexagonal structure type of GdSI, only the cell dimensions are presented. The structures were described in detail by Dagron and Thevet (.96). Their common building-principle is a layer structure formed by planar layers [LS] (L = metal), separated by a double layer of bromine or iodine. The plane layers [LS] eu e formed by the juxtaposition of metal tetrahedra enclosing sulfur, [L4S]. These layers exhibit two different synunetries.

Owing to the planar layer structure of most micro reactors, uniform illumination is yielded in addition, which can be maintained on increasing throughput by numbering-up [6]. Here, the individual reaction units are assembled in parallel again on a plane, but a larger one. 

For example, suppose a planar layer of N tracer atoms is the starting point, and suppose that each atom diffuses from the interface by a random walk in a direction perpendicular to the interface, in what is effectively one-dimensional diffusion. The probability of a jump to the right is taken to be equal to the probability of a jump to the left, and each is equal to 0.5. The random-walk model leads to the following result ... 

Evaluation of Several Organic Materials as Planarizing Layers for lithographic and Etchback Processing... 

Para-t-butylphenyl glycidyl ether BPGE had a similar viscosity and C/O ratio as those of NA and had the best properties of the photocurable epoxies that were surveyed, but this monomer dewetted from Si substrates immediately after spin coating and formed a puddle at the substrate center. Other monofunctional epoxies exhibited the same behavior. Mixtures of BPGE with multifunctional aromatic epoxies wetted Si substrates and could be used as planarizing layers.
