A method of forming an image. The method includes: a transfer layer on a substrate; forming on the transfer layer, an etch barrier layer; pressing a template having a relief pattern into the etch barrier layer; exposing the etch barrier layer to actinic radiation forming a cured etch barrier layer having thick and thin regions corresponding to the relief pattern; removing the template; removing the thin regions of the cured etch barrier layer; removing regions of the transfer layer not protected by the etch barrier layer; removing regions of the substrate not protected by the transfer layer and any remaining etch barrier layer; and removing remaining transfer layer. The transfer layer may be removed using a solvent, the etch barrier layer may include a release agent and an adhesion layer may be formed between the transfer layer and the etch barrier layer. A reverse tone process is also described.

A composition of matter for a recording medium in atomic force data storage devices. The composition includes one or more poly(aryl ether ketone) copolymers, each of the one or more poly(aryl ether ketone) copolymers including (a) a first monomer including an aryl ether ketone and (b) a second monomer including an aryl ether ketone and a hydrogen bonding cross-linking moiety, the moiety capable of forming two or more hydrogen bonds at room temperature, each of the one or more poly(aryl ether ketone) copolymers having two terminal ends, each terminal end having a phenylethynyl moiety. The covalent and hydrogen bonding cross-linking of the poly(aryl ether ketone) oligomers may be tuned to match thermal and force parameters required in read-write-erase cycles.

The invention provides alkene fluoroalkanol and fluorinated polyol precursors to fluoroalkanol-substituted α,β-unsaturated esters. The fluoroalkanol-substituted α,β-unsaturated esters are olefins that can be readily polymerized to provide fluoroalkanol-substituted polymers useful in lithographic photoresist compositions. Also provided are methods for synthesizing the alkene fluoroalkanol and fluorinated polyol precursors.

The magnetic surfaces of the magnetoresistive or magnetic tunnel junction and inductive write head and magnetic recording disk of a hard disk drive are protected from corrosion by inserting a vapor phase corrosion inhibitor (VPCI) package into the disk drive for providing additives in the vapor phase of the disk drive enclosure to maintain an equilibrium and renewable adsorbed film of metal passivators on the head and disk surfaces. The VPCI package includes at least one vapor phase corrosion inhibitor (VPCI) embedded in a polymeric matrix.
摘要:
Acid-catalyzed positive photoresist compositions which are imageable with 193 nm radiation (and possibly other radiation) and are developable to form photoresist structures of improved development characteristics and improved etch resistance are enabled by the use of resist compositions containing cyclic olefin polymer having a cyclic olefin monomer having a lactone moiety, the monomer having no oxygen atoms intervening between the lactone moiety and a ring of the cyclic olefin. Preferred lactone moieties are spirolactones (having a 5 or 6 membered ring) directly to a cyclic olefin ring.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to methods of fabricating electrically conducting polymers and precursors thereof in which the polymer has a controlled level of aggregation and morphology. This is done by controlling the rate of polymerization and the rate at which the polymer precipitates from solution during the polymerization reaction. An additive is added to the polymerization medium, said additive increasing or decreasing the rate at which the polymer precipitates from the reaction medium. When said additive is a second organic solvent, the polymerization reaction proceeds homogeneously for a longer period of time than does the corresponding polymerization reaction which does not include said additive. Control of the polymerization kinetics allows control of the morphology for the isolated polymer and in turn control of the properties of these polymers.

The instant invention is drawn vibrational methods of deaggregating electrically conductive polymers. Said methods include the steps of:I) providing an intrinsically conductive polymer comprising a specific morphology;II) determining by experimental or theoretical means a desired degree of aggregation for said intrinsically conductive polymer;III) agitating said intrinsically conductive polymer by a method selected from the group consisting of ultrasound, vibration, shear mixing and cavitation, said agitation being performed at a rate sufficient to achieve the determined degree of aggregation.
