Abstract
RF sputtering of polymeric materials such as polytetrafluoroethylene ( PTFE) and polyethylene (PE) has been studied. Threshold powers of 220 and 80 W for the self-sputtering glow discharge mode were found for PT FE and PE, respectively. FTIR absorption data using polarized light di sclosed a structural anisotropy of the sputtered PTFE films. A simple structural model is proposed. The first results obtained by FTIR spect roscopy of sputtered PE films are presented. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
