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.

  1. I am from California USA I was diagnosed of HERPES Virus in 2016 and I have tried all I can to get cured but all to no avail, until i saw a post in a health forum about a herbalist man who prepare herbal medication to cure all kind of diseases including HERPES virus, at first i doubted if it was real but decided to give it a try , when i contact this herbalist via his email and he prepared a HERPES herbal cure and sent it to me via UPS delivery company service, when i received this herbal cure, he gave me step by directions on how to apply it, when i applied it as instructed, i was totally cured of this deadly virus within 14days of usage, I am now free from the deadly virus called herpes, all thanks to doctor UMA, Contact this great herbal doctor via his email dr.umaherbalcenter@gmail.com call or whatsapp him on his mobile number +2347035619585

  2. I’m very excited to inform everyone that I’m completely cured from HSV1&2 recently. I have used Oregano oil, Coconut oil, Acyclovir, Valacyclovir, Famciclovir, and some other products and it’s really help during my outbreaks but I totally got cured from HSV1&2 with a strong and .active herbal medicine ordered from a powerful herbalist called Dr Ishiaku and it completely fought the virus away my nervous system and I tested negative after 14 days of using the herbal medicine. I’m here to let everyone know that herpes virus has a complete cure, I got rid of it with the help of Dr Ishiaku and his herbal exploit. Contact him via email: ishiakuherbalcure@gmail.com or WhatsApp him at +2348180828544.

  3. I have spent a lot on drugs which has all proved abortive and only suppress the virus and I have tried all means in life to cure this herpes virus but there was no actual cure until I met Doc Excel whom I contacted and he prepare medicine for me which I took I am now Herpes Negative, I am very very happy, thanks to Doc Excel for helping my life come back newly again without any form of crisis, I promise to tell your name and good deeds to the whole world. Kindly contact him for cure regarding any type of Herpes virus: Excelherbalcure.com His contact number +1(204) 410 4511
