    摘要: A method of protecting a substrate during fabrication of semiconductor, MEMS devices. The method includes application of a protective thin film which typically has a thickness ranging from 3 angstroms to about 1,000 angstroms, wherein precursor materials used to deposit the protective thin film are organic-based precursors which include at least one fluorine-comprising functional group at one end of a carbon back bone and at least one functional bonding group at the opposite end of a carbon backbone, and wherein the carbon backbone ranges in length from 4 carbons through about 12 carbons. In many applications at least a portion of the protective thin film is removed during fabrication of the devices.

    摘要: The present invention is related to carbon-doped metal oxide films. The carbon-doped metal oxide films provide a low coefficient of friction, for example ranging from about 0.05 to about 0.4. In addition, the carbon-doped metal oxide films applied over a silicon substrate, for example, provide anti-stiction properties, where the measured work of adhesion for a MEMS device cantilever beam coated with the carbon-doped metal oxide film is less than 10 μJ/m2. In addition, the carbon-doped metal oxide films provide unexpectedly good water vapor transmission properties. The carbon content in the carbon-doped metal oxide films ranges from about 5 atomic % to about 20 atomic %.

    摘要: We have developed an improved vapor-phase deposition method and apparatus for the application of layers and coatings on various substrates. The method and apparatus are useful in the fabrication of biotechnologically functional devices, Bio-MEMS devices, and in the fabrication of microfluidic devices for biological applications. In one important embodiment, oxide coatings providing hydrophilicity or oxide/polyethylene glycol coatings providing hydrophilicity can be deposited by the present method, over the interior surfaces of small wells in a plastic micro-plate in order to increase the hydrophilicity of these wells. Filling these channels with a precise amount of liquid consistently can be very difficult. This prevents a water-based sample from beading up and creating bubbles, so that well can fill accurately and completely, and alleviates spillage into other wells which causes contamination.

    摘要: We have devised an apparatus useful for and a method of removing impurities from vaporous precursor compositions used to generate reactive precursor vapors from which thin films/layers are formed under sub-atmospheric conditions. The method is particularly useful when the layer deposition apparatus provides for precise addition of quantities of different combinations of reactants during a single step or when there are a number of different individual steps in the layer formation process, where the presence of impurities has a significant affect on both the quantity of reactants being charged and the overall composition of the reactant mixture from which the layer is deposited. The method is particularly useful when the vapor pressure of a liquid reactive precursor is less than about 250 Torr at atmospheric pressure.

    摘要: We have developed an improved vapor-phase deposition method and apparatus for the application of films/coatings on substrates. The method provides for the addition of a precise amount of each of the reactants to be consumed in a single reaction step of the coating formation process. In addition to the control over the amount of reactants added to the process chamber, the present invention requires precise control over the total pressure (which is less than atmospheric pressure) in the process chamber, the partial vapor pressure of each vaporous component present in the process chamber, the substrate temperature, and typically the temperature of a major processing surface within said process chamber. Control over this combination of variables determines a number of the characteristics of a film/coating or multi-layered film/coating formed using the method. By varying these process parameters, the roughness and the thickness of the films/coatings produced can be controlled.

    摘要: We have developed an improved vapor-phase deposition method and apparatus for the attachment of organic films/coatings containing a variety of functional groups on halogen-containing substrates. The substrate surface is halogenated using a vaporous halogen-containing compound, followed by a reaction with at least one organic molecule containing at least one nucleophilic functional group. Halogenation of the substrate surface and subsequent reaction with the organic molecule are carried out in the same process chamber in a manner such that the halogenated substrate surface does not lose its functionality prior to reaction with the nucleophilic functional group(s) on the organic molecule.
