Resist profile poly

A mixture of powdered poly(vinyl chloride), cyclohexanone as solvent, silica, and water is extruded and rolled in a calender into a profiled separator material. The solvent is extracted by hot water, which is evaporated in an oven, and a semiflexible, microporous sheet of very high porosity ( 70 percent) is formed [19]. Further developments up to the 75 percent porosity have been reported [85,86], but these materials suffer increasingly from brittleness. The high porosity results in excellent values for acid displacement and electrical resistance. For profiles, the usual vertical or diagonal ribs on the positive side, and as an option low ribs on the negative side, are available [86],... 

As mentioned earlier, the COMA positive resists tend to have higher optical absorption at 193 nm than polymethacrylate and COBRA systems, which would produce a tapered image profile. To overcome this potential problem, the T-top formation by absorption of base into the top layer (see above) has been intentionally incorporated in the lithographic process (amine gradient process) [281]. Poly(acrylic acid-co-methyl acrylate) and L-proline were dissolved in water and spin-cast on a COMA resist. During PEB the amine in the overcoat diffuses into the COMA resist layer and compensates for the acid gradient caused by illumination, providing a vertical profile. 

A thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) profile of a typical alicyclic copolymer resist resin, poly(CBN-co-NBCA), is shown in Fig. 7.15. All of the alicyclic resist co-and terpolymers show similar TGA profiles. The deprotection temperature and decomposition temperature for the polymers are roughly 250°C and 400°C, respectively. At the deprotection temperature, roughly 25% weight loss associated with the deprotection event and corresponding to the loss of isobutylene and carbon... 

The other resist polymers, poly(CBN-alt-MAH), poly(CBN-co-MTDCA), and poly(CBN-alt-MAH-alt-NBE) show similar TGA profiles. Their decomposition temperatures are all in excess of 240°C. 

Figure 11.20 shows the dose-dependent absorbance profiles of the carboxylic OH stretch (3100-3500 cm ) and the ester C-O-C stretch (around 1150 cm of a poly(CBN-co-NBCA) exposed to 248-nm radiation and baked afterward at 120, 130, 140, and 150°C. The carboxylic acid OH stretch and the carboxylic acid carbonyl (C O) stretch (1695-1705 cm ) both increase, while the ester carbonyl (C O) stretch (1730-1735 cm ) decreases with increasing dose of exposure (0-50 mJ/cm ), which allows us to follow the deprotection of the t-butyl ester group and the consequent conversion to a carboxylic acid group. The C-O-C (1150 cm ) stretch of the ester also decreases with dose of exposure, indicating the loss of the isobutylene group from the resist polymer. ... 

To improve the thermal properties of resists and prevent thermal deformation of resist pattern profiles during the dry etching process, where the temperature of the wafer often exceeds the deformation temperature of untreated resist, UV radiation curing that results in cross-linking is sometimes used. DNQ/ novolac, poly (hydroxy styrene), acrylate, alicyclic, and a whole host of other... 

Many efforts have been devoted to the microcapsules with tailored structure and the fabrication methods thereof. Examples like double-shell microcapsule of polyurea/polyurethane show improved thermal mechanical property and ethanol resistance, poly(acrylonitrile-divinylbenzene-styrene)/polyamide two-layer microcapsule was prepared to encapsulate water, and self-bursting microcapsules " may have potential application in agricultural field because of its unique release profile. Additionally, monodispersed microcapsules based on miCTofludic processes like SPG (Shirasu...

Poly(epichlorohydrin-co-ethylene oxide) has a well-balanced profile of physical properties together with a high resistance to solvents and oils at moderate temperatnres. For these reasons it has formd many applications in the aerospace and automotive industries. In addition, this copolymer has attracted attention in the field of batteries and electrical devices, mainly because, when complexed with an inorganic salt, the elastomer can be used...
