A novel photosensitive polyimide based on a polyimide containing the hydroxytriphenylamine structure (HTA-PI) and 2, 3, 4-tris[1-oxo-2-diazonaphthoquinone-4-sulfonyloxy] benzophenone (D4SB) as a photoreactive compound has been developed. The HTAPI was prepared by the ring-opening polyaddition of 4, 4′-hexafluoroisopropylidenebis(phthalic anhydride) (6FDA) and 4,4′-diamino-4″-hydroxytriphenylamine (DHTA), followed by thermal cyclization in refluxing N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP). The resulting polyimide film showed excellent transparency to 436 nm light. Photosensitive polyimide containing 30 wt% of D4SB showed a sensitivity of 800 mJ cm−2 and a contrast of 0.8 when it was exposed to 436 nm light followed by development with 5% tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) aqueous solution at 45°C.

Abstract With the sharpening of optical images, the capability of resist materials has become a serious concern in lithography. The dissolution of a resist polymer is key to the realization of ultrafine patterning. However, the details of the dissolution of resist polymers remain unclarified. In this study, the relationships of surface free energy with swelling and dissolution kinetics were investigated using poly(4-hydroxystyrene) (PHS) film with triphenylsulfonium-nonaflate (TPS-nf). Developers were water and 2.38 wt% tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) aqueous solution. PHS and TPS-nf are a typical backbone polymer (a dissolution agent) and a typical acid generator of chemically amplified resists, respectively. The water intake and dissolution of PHS film with TPS-nf became fast with increasing UV exposure dose. It was found that the increase in the polar components (particularly, the hydrogen bonding component) and the decrease in the dispersion component of surface free energy underlie the fast water intake and dissolution.

Nanocrystalline 20 mol% samaria-doped ceria powders (Ce0.8Sm0.2O1.9) were synthesized by coprecipitation techniques using various precipitating agents in aqueous solution: ammonia, ammonium carbonate, tetramethylammonium hydroxide, and urea. The synthesized powders after calcination at 600°C possess a fluorite structure with nanometric size although they are characterized by a very different morphology and degree of agglomeration. Remarkable differences appear in the sintering behavior, especially because of the presence of hard agglomerates. The precipitating agent has therefore a crucial role in the coprecipitation process, which influences the morphology of the powders and in turn the sintering behavior. The obtained results clearly reveal that ammonium carbonate and urea are the best precipitating agents to obtain final dense products after sintering.

ABSTRACTThe process of spin dewetting was used to fabricate polymer micro and nanostructures from poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), poly (propyl methacrylate) (PPMA), and polystyrene (PS). Polymer structures were formed on poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) molds by dewetting of a polymer solution during spin coating. Features were removed from the mold using heat and pressure to transfer the polymer to silicon or glass substrates. By varying the coating conditions, a variety of different polymer feature morphologies were obtained for a given PDMS mold geometry. In this study, the ability to fabrication polymer micro and nanostructures using spin dewetting was demonstrated on a variety of PDMS mold geometries. The effects of polymer solution concentration and mold feature size on the resulting polymer structures were examined. In addition, microfabricated PMMA structures were used as etch masks for anisotropic etching of silicon in an aqueous solution of tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH).

In this paper, fabrication of silicon microchannels with integrated obstacles by using 25 wt.% tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) aqueous solution at the temperature of 80?C is presented and analysed. We studied basic island patterns, which present union of two symmetrical parallelograms with the sides along predetermined crystallographic directions <n10> (2<n<8) and <100>. Acute angles of the parallelograms were smaller than 45?. We have derived analytical relations for determining dimensions of the integrated obstacles. The developed etching technique provides reduction of the distance between the obstacles. Before the experiments, we performed simulations of pattern etching based on the level set method and presented evolution of the etched basic patterns for the predetermined crystallographic directions <n10>. Combination of basic patterns with sides along the <610> and <100> crystallographic directions is used to fabricate a matrix of two row of silicon obstacles in a microchannel. We obtained a good agreement between the experimental results and simulations. Our results enable simple and cost-effective fabrication of various complex microfluidic silicon platforms with integrated obstacles.
