“…The plasma treatment was performed with following parameters: p = 0.1 mbar; ν = 13.56 MHz, P = 100 W, t = 30…120 s. The optimum treatment time was found to be at about 30…60 s. A longer plasma activation (120 s) resulted in a strong compound between the release agent and parylene in some places, leading to damages during the floating process. That can be explained by a crosslinking of the release agent by short‐wave UV radiation from plasma …”

“…Therefore, the results obtained from a 27-nm-thick parylene foil were compared with 30-nm-thick DLC foil produced by laser deposition (Micromatter, Canada). 32 Foil surface imaging and foil stiffness measurements were performed by an atomic force microscope (AFM, MFP3D, Asylum Research, USA). Both types of foils were attached on transmission electron microscopy (TEM) grids with circular aperture and mesh sizes of 10 mm (Athene RM20, Plano GmbH, Germany).…”

We report on the production and characterization of polymer-based ultra-thin (sub 10 nm) foils suited for experiments on laser-ion acceleration in the regime of radiation pressure acceleration. Beside the remarkable mechanical stability compared with commonly used diamond-like-carbon foils, a very homogeneous layer thickness and a small surface roughness have been achieved. We describe the technical issues of the production process as well as detailed studies of the mechanical stability and surface roughness tests. The capability of producing uniform targets of large area is essential for advanced laser-ion acceleration projects which are dealing with high repetition rate and extended measurement series, but might also be useful for other applications which require ultra-thin and freestanding substrates of high quality
