    摘要: A vapor phase deposition method and apparatus for the application of thin layers and coatings on substrates. The method and apparatus are useful in the fabrication of electronic devices, micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), Bio-MEMS devices, micro and nano imprinting lithography, and microfluidic devices. The apparatus used to carry out 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. The 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 coating formation process. The precise addition of each of the reactants in vapor form is metered into a predetermined set volume at a specified temperature to a specified pressure, to provide a highly accurate amount of reactant.

    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 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.
