Abstract
Pd atoms are released into PMMA by thermal decomposition of a suitable orga nometallic compound dissolved in the polymer beforehand. These atoms eventu ally precipitate in ion-irradiated polymer regions. After Ar+ ion implantat ion, metallic enrichment by up to a factor 4.5 in concentration could be ac hieved. We tend to attribute this Pd enrichment to gettering at the Ar gas bubbles. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
