摘要:
A system and method are disclosed for coating surfaces of expandable medical devices with composite coatings. Coatings are composed of various materials including, e.g., polymers and drugs. Transfer of the coatings within a patient or other host forms a drug-eluting coating that delivers time-released drugs over time for treatment of a medical condition.

A medical implant device having a substrate with an oxidized surface and a silane derivative coating covalently bonded to the oxidized surface. A bioactive agent is covalently bonded to the silane derivative coating. An implantable stent device including a stent core having an oxidized surface with a layer of silane derivative covalently bonded thereto. A spacer layer comprising polyethylene glycol (PEG) is covalently bonded to the layer of silane derivative and a protein is covalently bonded to the PEG. A method of making a medical implant device including providing a substrate having a surface, oxidizing the surface and reacting with derivitized silane to form a silane coating covalently bonded to the surface. A bioactive agent is then covalently bonded to the silane coating. In particular instances, an additional coating of bio-absorbable polymer and/or pharmaceutical agent is deposited over the bioactive agent.

摘要:
A system is described for selectively depositing materials to surfaces at preselected locations and at controlled thicknesses. Materials can be further selectively deposited to sub-surfaces of composite or structured silicon wafers, e.g., for the deposition of barrier films on silicon wafer surfaces, e.g., to fill substrate feature patterns (vias). The invention finds application in such commercial processes as semiconductor chip manufacturing. The system is envisioned to provide alternatives to, or decreased need for, chemical mechanical planarization in semiconductor chip manufacturing.
摘要:
Methods are disclosed for depositing materials selectively and controllably from liquid, near-critical, and/or supercritical fluids to a substrate or surface controlling the location and/or thickness of material(s) deposited to the surface or substrate. In one exemplary process, metals are deposited selectively filling feature patterns (e.g., vias) of substrates. The process can be further used to control deposition of materials on sub-surfaces of composite or structured silicon wafers, e.g., for the deposition of barrier films on silicon wafer surfaces. Materials include, but are not limited to, overburden materials, metals, non-metals, layered materials, organics, polymers, and semiconductor materials. The instant invention finds application in such commercial processes as semiconductor chip manufacturing. In particular, selective deposition is envisioned to provide alternatives to, or decrease need for, such processes as Chemical Mechanical Planarization of silicon surfaces in semiconductor chip manufacturing due to selective filling and/or coating of pattern features with metals deposited from liquid, near-critical, or supercritical fluids.
摘要:
Methods and an apparatus are disclosed for depositing tantalum metal films in next-generation solvent fluids on substrates and/or deposition surfaces useful, e.g., as metal seed layers. Deposition involves low valence oxidation state metal precursors soluble in liquid and/or compressible solvent fluids at liquid, near-critical, or supercritical conditions for the mixed precursor solutions. Metal film deposition is effected via thermal and/or photolytic activation of the metal precursors. The invention finds application in fabrication and processing of semiconductor, metal, polymer, ceramic, and like substrates or composites.
