    摘要: Measuring thickness and the rate of change of thickness of a material having a surface while the material is being etched, comprising: illuminating the material with low coherence light, a portion of the which transmits through the material and a portion of which is reflected; etching the material surface and while etching, collecting a portion of the reflected light from each optical interface of the material with a low coherence light interferometer; calculating the thickness and rate of change of thickness of the material or part of the material according to the obtained interferometric data; and storing or displaying the resultant thickness and rate of change of thickness of the material. The present invention provides a unique way of calculating the thermo optic coefficient of a material. This method can be used simultaneously with etching the material so that changes to the etching rate can be made in real time.

    摘要: A method of producing a patterned inorganic thin film element includes providing a substrate. A thin layer of polymeric inhibitor is uniformly depositing on the substrate. A patterned mask having open areas is provided on the thin layer of polymeric inhibitor. The thin layer of polymeric inhibitor is patterned by removing inhibitor from areas exposed by the open areas of the patterned mask using a highly reactive oxygen process. An inorganic thin film layer is deposited on the substrate in the areas exposed by the removal of the thin layer of polymeric inhibitor using an atomic layer deposition process.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are taught for treating polyolefin containing or polyolefin-coated webs or laminates for obtaining the proper surface characteristics to promote adhesion of photosensitive coating materials and/or layers typically coated thereon. The web is passed through a high-voltage sheath region or dark space of the plasma generated by a powered electrode residing in a discharge zone. The frequency of the driving voltage must be above a lower bound dictated by the properties of the paper support and the plasma, and it must be below an upper bound beyond which the sheath voltages drop significantly and it is observed that the benefits of this approach diminish. The dark space is generated by a treatment electrode in a treatment zone. There is a counter electrode having a surface area in said treatment zone which is at least as great as the surface area of the treatment electrode. A power supply is included for driving the treatment electrode with an oscillating high voltage at a frequency less than about 2 MHz and greater than 1/tc where tc is the charging time of a web surface exposed to a rms ion current in the plasma.

    摘要: An inkjet printhead is provided for a digitally controlled inkjet printing apparatus wherein the inkjet printhead is comprised of a material layer and a drop formation mechanism positioned in or on the material layer, that is substantially improved in chemical resistance and thermally stability. A chemically resistant and thermally stable multilayer coating is provided onto and in contact with the inkjet printhead, wherein the multilayer coating includes one or more thin film layers comprised primarily of hafnium oxide or zirconium oxide and one or more thin film layers comprised primarily of tantalum oxide, the multilayer coating being located on the material layer. The corrosion resistant film of the invention is particularly beneficial because it can be formed on the printhead using atomic layer deposition film forming methods that produce conformal films that cover complex geometries, thereby enabling the corrosion resistant film to be formed on all surfaces of the printhead that come in contact with inks or other fluids employed in the printing system.
