A Multilens Measurement Platform for High-Throughput Adhesion Measurements

December 1, 2004
Author(s)
Aaron M. Forster, Weiping Zhang, Christopher Stafford
There are few methods available for performing high-throughput adhesion measurements. Current high-throughput methodologies for measuring interfacial adhesion rely on serial or sequential testing of discrete or continuous libraries. Alternatively, we have

A New Design for High-Throughput Peel Tests: Statistical Analysis and Example

December 1, 2004
Author(s)
A Chiche, Weiping Zhang, Christopher Stafford, Alamgir Karim
The peel test is one of the most common techniques to investigate the properties of pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs). As the demand increases for combinatorial tools to rapidly test material performance, designinig a high-throughput peel test is a

A Simple Approach to One-Laser, Broadband CARS Microscopy

December 1, 2004
Author(s)
Marcus T. Cicerone, T W. Kee
Coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy is emerging as a powerful method for imaging materials and biological systems, partly because of its non-invasiveness and selective chemical sensitivity. However, its full potential for species

Unusual Multilayered Structures in PEO/Laponite Nanocomposite Films

November 19, 2004
Author(s)
Avinash Dundigalla, Sheng Lin-Gibson, F Ferreiro, M M. Malwitz
The unusual structure of poly-ethylene-oxide and Laponite clay in transparentnanocomposite films was investigated using scanning electron, atomic force, optical microscopy, and X-ray scattering. Each method is sensitive to different aspects of structural

Gene Expression Profiles of Cells in Response to Tyrosine Polycarbonate Blends

October 1, 2004
Author(s)
Matthew Becker, L A. Bailey, N Washburn, J Kohn, Eric J. Amis
The evaluation and identification of detrimental interactions between biological species and synthetic surfaces is a daunting challenge as the number of materials and control of physical variables increases. In this talk, the physical properties of

Structure of Polystyrene at the Interface With Various Liquids

September 4, 2004
Author(s)
Clayton S. Yang, P T. Wilson, Lee J. Richter
Vibrationally resonant sum frequency generation (VR-SFG) is used to determine the structure of the phenyl side groups of deuterated polystyrene at the liquid/solid interface for the nonsolvent liquids: hexane, methanol, ethanol, glycerol, and water. The

Counterion associative behavior with flexible polyelectrolytes

September 1, 2004
Author(s)
Vivek M. Prabhu, Eric J. Amis, N S. Rosov
At low ionic strength, organic counterions dress a flexible charged polymer as measured directly by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and neutron spin-echo (NSE) spectroscopy. This dressed state, quantified by the concentration dependence of the static

Transformation of Phase Size Distribution Into Scattering Intensity

September 1, 2004
Author(s)
Barry J. Bauer
A practical method of calculating the small angle scattering intensity (SAS) and the density correlation function (CF) from the phase size distribution (PSD) is presented for a sample with a two-phase morphology. The CF can be calculated in terms of joint

A Buckling-Based Metrology for Measuring the Elastic Moduli of Polymeric Thin Films

August 1, 2004
Author(s)
Christopher Stafford, Eva Simonyi, C Harrison, Kathryn Beers, Alamgir Karim, Eric J. Amis, Mark R. VanLandingham, H C. Kim, W Volksen, R D. Miller
As technology continues towards smaller, thinner and lighter devices, more stringent demands are placed on thin polymer films as diffusion barriers, dielectric coatings, electronic packaging and so on. Therefore, there is a growing need for testing

Proton NMR Determination of Miscibility in a Bulk Model Photoresist System Poly (4-Hydroxystyene) and the Photoacid Generator, Di(t-butylphenyl) Iodonium Perfluorooctane Sulfonate

July 13, 2004
Author(s)
David L. VanderHart, Vivek M. Prabhu, Eric K. Lin
The intimacy of component mixing in 2 blends of poly(4-hydroxystyrene) (PHS) and a photoacid generator (PAG), di(t-butylphenyl) iodonium perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) were studied by solid state proton NMR. Mass ratios were 91/9 and 85/15 PHS/PFOS

Correlation of the Reaction Front With Roughness in Chemically Amplified Photoresists

July 1, 2004
Author(s)
Ronald L. Jones, Vivek M. Prabhu, D M. Goldfarb, Eric K. Lin, Christopher L. Soles, Joseph~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined Lenhart, Wen-Li Wu, M Angelopoulos
A model bilayer geometry is used to examine fundamental contributions of in-situ reaction front profile width on resulting line edge roughness after development in standard 0.26 N tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide aqueous base developer. The bilayer geometry

Gradient Reference Specimens for Advanced Scanned Probe Microscopy

July 1, 2004
Author(s)
D Julthongpiput, Michael J. Fasolka, Eric J. Amis
Recent years have seen the emergence of a new generation of SPM techniques, which intend to measure chemical, mechanical, and electro/optical properties on the nanoscale. Currently, these techniques provide qualitative (or semi-quantitative) data, often

Stresses in shape memory polymer-matrix nanocomposites for biomedical applications

June 1, 2004
Author(s)
Davor Balzar, G Stefanic, Kenneth Gall, Martin Dunn, Yiping Liu
We report on the residual stresses in amorphous shape memory polymers reinforced with SiC particles. After 50 % compression of the composite material at 25 ¿C, the SiC particles exhibit a compressive stress, which is almost completely released during

An Operator-Independent Approach to Mass Spectral Peak Identification and Integration

May 1, 2004
Author(s)
William E. Wallace, Anthony J. Kearsley, Charles M. Guttman
A mathematical algorithm is presented that accurately locates and calculates the area beneath mass spectral peaks using only reproducible mathematical operations and a NO user-selected sensitivity parameters. This represents a major refinement of last year

Fundamentals of Developer-Resist Interactions for Line-Edge Roughness and Critical Dimension Control in Model 248 nm and 157 nm Photoresists

May 1, 2004
Author(s)
Vivek M. Prabhu, M Wang, E Jablonski, B D. Vogt, Eric K. Lin, Wen-Li Wu, D L. Goldfarb, M Angelopoulos, H Ito
Organic polar solvent (1-butanol) versus aqueous base (tetramethylammonium hydroxide, (TMAH)) development quality are distinguished by neutral versus charged polymer (polyelectrolyte) dissolution behavior of photoresist bilayers on silicon substrates
