Abstract
Highly oriented fluorocarbon films are deposited downstream from an inducti vely coupled rf plasma using hexafluoropropylene oxide (HFPO). Angle-depend ent XPS results [takeoff angles of 0 degrees (upper) and 80 degrees (lower) ] demonstrate that the films comprise CF2 chains terminated by CF3 groups a t the outer surface of the film. NEXAFS data establishes that the CF2 group s are aligned in chains which are oriented normal to the substrate.
