Deprotection Volume Characteristics and Line Edge Morphology in Chemically Amplified Resists

June 1, 2003
Author(s)
Ronald L. Jones, C G. Willson, T J. Hu, Vivek M. Prabhu, Christopher L. Soles, Eric K. Lin, Wen-Li Wu, D L. Goldfarb, M Angelopoulos, B C. Trinque
The focus of this paper is the form of spatial heterogeneity of deprotection at the eventual pattern edge. The form results from the packing of fuzzy blobs consisting of volumes of deprotection created by individual photogenerated acids. The form and size

Monitoring Polymer/Clay Nanocomposites Compounding Using a Dielectric Slit Die

May 30, 2003
Author(s)
Anthony J. Bur, S C. Roth, M M. McBrearty
A new in-line process monitoring instrument, a dielectric slit die, was used to examine compounding of polymer/clay nanocomposites. It is a multi-purpose sensing device for measuring polymer dielectric, rheological and optical properties during extrusion

Numerical Analysis of a Coaxial Line With a Complex Gap Capacitance

May 1, 2003
Author(s)
Jan Obrzut, O Anopchenko
A full wave numerical analysis was performed for a coaxial line terminated by a complex gap capacitance. The scattering parameters, input impedance and the spatial distribution of the electromagnetic field have been obtained in the frequency range of 100

Ultrafast Dynamics of Gold-Based Nanocomposite Materials

May 1, 2003
Author(s)
Joseph S. Melinger, V D. Kleiman, D McMorrow, Franziska Grohn, Barry J. Bauer, Eric J. Amis
The ultrafast electron dynamics are investigated for small ((2.5 4.0) nm average diameter) Au nanoparticles contained in two different types of organic-inorganic nanocomposites. In one case, an aqueous solution contains Au nanoparticles embedded inside

High-Throughput Investigation of Cell Proliferation on Crystalline Polymers

April 1, 2003
Author(s)
N. R. Washburn, S B. Kennedy, Carl Simon Jr., K Yamada, Eric J. Amis
The results of our investigation of cell proliferation on crystalline polymers will be presented. The goal of the research is to investigate how cells respond to nanometer scale roughness, and crystallizing poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) was a convenient

Reference Material 8457, Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene 0.5 cm Cubes

April 1, 2003
Author(s)
B M. Fanconi, John A. Tesk, William F. Guthrie
The geometric and surface features of a new NIST reference material, RM 8457 are presented. This reference material is composed of Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) in the form of 5 mm cubes. These cubesare intended for use in swelling

The Bromine Doping of Polyacetylene

April 1, 2003
Author(s)
C. K. Chiang
The first doping experiment of polyacetylene performed by Chiang and Shirakawa in 1976 is described. The first successful doping experiment of polyacetylene impacted physics and chemistry in three aspects: 1) discovery of metallic conducting synthetic

Chemically Amplified Resist Fundamentals Studies by Combinatorial approaches

March 1, 2003
Author(s)
M Wang, Vivek Prabhu, Eric K. Lin, Michael J. Fasolka, Alamgir Karim
Sub-100 nm lithography requires more understanding of photoresist material properties and processing conditions to achieve necessary critical dimension control of patterned structures. As resist thickness and feature linewidth decrease, fundamental

Quantitative Synthetic Polymer Mass Spectrometry Workshop

February 1, 2003
Author(s)
William E. Wallace, Charles M. Guttman, S D. Hanton
Mass spectrometry is a rapidly evolving measurement technique for synthetic polymers. It holds the promise of providing not only absolute molecular mass distributions but also quantitative end-group and repeat-unit composition, and structural information

Measuring Resin Temperature During Extrusion Using a Fluorescence Technique

January 30, 2003
Author(s)
Anthony J. Bur, S C. Roth, D W. Baugh, K A. Koppi, M A. Spalding, J Gunderson, W C. Buzanowski
We have used a temperature sensitive fluorescent dye, doped into polycarbonate, to monitor the true resin temperature during extrusion processing. The fluorescent dye, perylene, was doped into the polycarbonate at very low concentration. We apply this

Mechanical Behavior of Caulks and Sealants

January 15, 2003
Author(s)
Donald L. Hunston, Christopher C. White
ulks and Sealants are important examples of consumer products where performance depends critically on rheological properties. This work describes the development of a testing and modeling procedure to characterize the basic mechanical properties of such

Chemistry and Properties of Phenolic Resins and Networks

January 1, 2003
Author(s)
Sheng Lin-Gibson, J S. Riffle
This book chapter emphasizes the recent mechanistic and kinetic findings on phenolic oligomer synthesis and network formation. The synthesis and characterization of both novolac and resole type phenolic resins and their resulting networks are described

Chemistry of Silanes Interfaces in Dental Polymers and Composites

January 1, 2003
Author(s)
Joseph M. Antonucci, Sabine H. Dickens, Bruce O. Fowler, H H. Xu, Walter G. McDonough
The performance and service life of glass- or ceramic-filled polymeric composites depend on the nature of their resin, filler and interfacial phases as well as the efficacy of the polymerization process. The synergy that exists between the organic polymer
