AbstractWe have recently developed novel periodic nanoporous silicate glass with high structural stability as low-k thin film by spin-coating method. Periodic porous silicate glass films developed so far cause structural shrinkage (10>∼20% or more) by annealing the spin-coated films. In this investigation we adopt vapor-phase TEOS (tetraethoxysilane)-treatment before anneal. Our novel nanoporous film shows little shift of XRD peak position after annealed at 673K, indicating both the ultimate mechanical strength and the minimization of stress in the interface between the prepared film and the underlying substrate. Such a shrinkage-free periodic nanoporous silica film can possess higher VBD (break down voltage) and lower ILeak (leakage current). In this article we estimate structural properties (including information on pores introduced intentionally) by XRD and TEM observation, and electrical properties (dielectric constant, VBD and ILeak) by IV and CV measurement of this special-treated periodic nanoporous silica film. The dielectric constant of the thus prepared periodic porous silica film with silylation after calcination was evaluated to be around 1.8 at 100kHz.

AbstractPalladium nanowires have been electrodeposited into mesoporous silica thin film templates. Palladium continually grows and fills silica mesopores starting from a bottom conductive substrate, providing a ready and efficient route to fabricate a macroscopic palladium nanowire thin films for potentially use in fuel cells, electrodes, sensors, and other applications. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) indicate it is possible to create different nanowire morphology such as bundles and swirling mesostructure based on the template pore structure.

The ability of bottlebrush block copolymers (BBCPs) to self-assemble into ordered large periodic structures could greatly expand the scope of photonic and membrane technologies. In this paper, we describe a two-step synthesis of poly(l-lactide)-b-polystyrene (PLLA-b-PS) BBCPs and their rapid thin-film self-assembly. PLLA chains were grown from exo-5-norbornene-2-methanol via ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of l-lactide to produce norbornene-terminated PLLA. Norbonene-terminated PS was prepared using anionic polymerization followed by a termination reaction with exo-5-norbornene-2-carbonyl chloride. PLLA-b-PS BBCPs were prepared from these two norbornenyl macromonomers by a one-pot sequential ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). PLLA-b-PS BBCPs thin-films exhibited cylindrical and lamellar morphologies depending on the relative block volume fractions, with domain sizes of 46–58 nm and periodicities of 70–102 nm. Additionally, nanoporous templates were produced by the selective etching of PLLA blocks from ordered structures. The findings described in this work provide further insight into the controlled synthesis of BBCPs leading to various possible morphologies for applications requiring large periodicities. Moreover, the rapid thin film patterning strategy demonstrated (>5 min) highlights the advantages of using PLLA-b-PS BBCP materials beyond their linear BCP analogues in terms of both dimensions achievable and reduced processing time.

AbstractPorous low dielectric films containing nano pores (∼20Å) with low dielectric constant (<2.2), have been prepared by using various kinds of cyclodextrin derivatives as porogenic materials. The pore structure such as pore size and interconnectivity can be controlled by changing functional groups of the cyclodextrin derivatives. We found that mechanical properties of porous low-k thin film prepared with mCSSQ (modified cyclic silsesquioxane) precursor and cyclodextrin derivatives were correlated with the pore interconnection length. The longer the interconnection length of nanopores in the thin film, the worse the mechanical properties of the thin film (such as hardness and modulus) even though the pore diameter of the films were microporous (∼2nm).

A new fabrication methods of thin-film gold electrode is reported. Electrochemical characteristics of self-assembly aptasensor based on MEMS thin-film gold electrode has been studied by lots of experiments, characteristics include immobilizing time, AC impedance, CV curves. Experiments indicate immobilizing time of DNA-SH on gold electrode is more than 15 hours. CV curves and AC impedance of MEMS thin-film gold electrode show the same conclusion that 20μm/L DNA is optimum concentration when DNA is immobilized on gold electrode. Those results present a potential universal method for other aptasensors.
