Xy. Zeng et al., Synthesis of silicon-based polymerized films by excimer laser ablation deposition of hexaphenyldisilane, J MATER RES, 14(1), 1999, pp. 232-245
A new method of synthesizing silicon-based polymer films by excimer laser a
blation of hexaphenyldisilane (HPDS) has been studied. The polymerized film
s were formed on a substrate by laser ablation deposition of HPDS at 248 nm
. The structure of the polymerized films depended strongly on the laser flu
ence and repetition rates. The thermal stability and hardness of the deposi
ted films were estimated by thermogravimetry and a Vickers microhardness me
ter. The films showed good thermal stability, depending on the laser proces
sing parameters.
