Elaboration Process

We optimize the elaboration of very thin film of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) polymer presenting a well-controlled thickness, roughness, and nano-inclusions amount. We focused our effort on the spin coating elaboration technique which is easy to transfer to an industrial process. We show that it is possible to obtain continuous and smooth thin films with mean thicknesses of 90 nm by properly adjusting the concentration and the viscosity of the PVDF solution as well as the spin rate and the substrate temperature of the elaboration process. The electro-active phase content versus the magnetic and structural properties of the composite films is reported and fully discussed. Last but not least, micro-patterning optical lithography combined with plasma etching has been used to obtain well-defined one-dimensional micro-stripes as well as squared-rings, demonstrating the easy-to-transfer silicon technology to polymer-based devices.

ABSTRACTFerroelectric polymer thin films are attractive for a wide range of applications such as MEMS, IR sensors, and memory devices. We present the results of a recent investigation on the thickness dependence of the ferroelectric properties of poly(vinylidene fluoridetrifluoroethylene) copolymer spin cast films on electroded Si substrate. We show that as the film thickness is reduced, there exist two thickness regions. For films at thickness above 100 nm, the thickness dependence of the ferroelectric properties can be attributed to the interface effect. However, for thinner films, there is a large change in the ferroelectric properties such as the polarization level, the coercive field, and polarization switching speed, which is related to the large drop of the crystallinity in the ultrathin film region (below 100 nm). The results from Xray, dielectric measurement, and AFM all indicate that there is a threshold thickness at about 100 nm below which the crystallinity in the film reduces abruptly.

Microfluidic Mixers

The ability to create patterns of piezo responsive material on smooth substrate is an important method to develop efficient microfluidic mixers. This paper reports the fabrication of Poly vinylidene fluoride microfilms using spin-coating on smooth glass surface. The suitable crystalline phases, surface morphology and microstructural properties of the PVDF films have been investigated. We found that films of average thickness 10[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m, had average roughness of 0.13[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m. These PVDF films are useful in microfluidic mixer applications.
