A 193-nm ArF excimer laser was used to induce the photodissociation of Si–O bonds of silicone rubber in order to fabricate a periodic micro/nano-suction cup silicone structure, approximately 1 μm in diameter and 2 μm in height at regular intervals of 2.5 μm. The laser was focused on Al-coated silicone rubber by each silica glass microsphere 2.5 μm in diameter, which covered the entire surface of the silicone rubber. The silicone rubber underneath each microsphere photochemically swelled after laser-ablating the coated Al to limit the diameter of the swelling. Simultaneously, the coated Al was able to adjust the focal point to the surface of the silicone rubber to form a hole approximately 500 nm in diameter, centered at the swollen silicone. The dependences of the thickness of the coated-Al and the laser pulse number are discussed, based on the observations of a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and an atomic force microscope (AFM). The superhydrophobic property of the fabricated micro/nano-suction cup structure was successfully found.

AbstractXPS measurement showed that undesirable SiNH component was reduced drastically from the low-temperature deposited SiN surface by intense ArF excimer-laser irradiation. Although the improved layer was as thin as 15nm, it was very effective to stop diffusion of N atoms from the bottom SiN layer to the top Si layer during the excimer-laser recrystallization step. N-diffused Si layer at the Si/SiN interface was less than the XPS resolution limit for the pre-annealed SiN structure, but about 5nm thick. As a result, the field-effect mobility of the poly-Si/SiN TFT was increased drastically by laser-irradiation to SiN film. Annealing characteristics are also presented for the various SiN film thicknesses and for both the ArF and KrF excimer-laser lights.
