Fourier transform infrared analysis of plasma polymerized 2-vinylpyridine thin films

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6935580
As a preliminary step toward the study of electrical and aging properties of thin-film capacitors made from plasma polymerized 2-vinylpyridine thin films, the chemical structure of these films deposited under a variety of plasma reactor conditions was investigated. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was found to be a useful technique for the characterization of plasma polymerized organic thin films (1,000 to 40,000 A) deposited on aluminum substrates. Further, this technique was used to observe variations in the chemical structure of poly (2-vinylpyridine) films as a function of reactor conditions (pressure, power, and carrier gas). 7 figures, 2 tables.
