ALD of almost pure organic polymer (3-4 at% Al) films with stability up to 400 °C

The clever ALD people at Helsinki University just published ALD of almost pure organic polymer (3-4 at% Al) films with stability up to 400 °C. This opens the path to a lot of new cool applications. For instance one could imagine the use of ALD deposited photo resist in the semiconductor industry.

The deposition of polybenzimidazole (PBI)-like thin films by molecular layer deposition is reported here for the first time using isophthalic acid (IPA) and 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB) as monomers and trimethylaluminum (TMA) as a linker precursor. Two precursor pulsing sequences are tested, the ABCB (TMA + IPA + DAB + IPA) and ABC (TMA + IPA + DAB) type MLD processes result in different types of PBI-like films. With the ABCB sequence thin film growth per cycle (GPC) of 6.0 Å is obtained at 225–280 °C, whereas GPC of 7.0 Å is obtained with the ABC sequence. Films are characterized in detail by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, time-of-flight elastic recoil detection analysis, and atomic force microscopy. The films have good thermal stability and withstand annealing at 400 °C in both air and nitrogen. PBI nanostructures are prepared by depositing PBI-like film on electroblown polyvinylpyrrolidone fibers and removing the template fibers by annealing or dissolution into ethanol.

  6. I never thought i could smile and be in a happy marriage again if not for the help of DR Moses . I got the doctors Email and i emailed him, he got back to me with some encouraging words, he got me some herbs cream which i use for just 8 days and i began to feel the enlargement of my penis, and without surgery. This went on for a little period of about 10 days and to my surprise my wife keeps screaming that she love my big dick now. Now my wife no longer cheat on me, and my penis is now about 10.5 inches long on erection and off course very large round. And now my wife uses breasts, hips and bums enlargement.
