Development of a lead oxide photopatternable organic-inorganic film

Abstract

We have developed a simple method to synthesize organic-inorganic films containing a Pb(II) acrylate precursor in a silicon-methacrylate solution in the presence of a photoactive compound. Film deposition is achieved by simple spin coating, and the presence of a photoactive compound enables rapid polymerization when the film is subjected to UV irradiation. This creates a patternable film that acts as both an imaging layer and also as a functional metal-containing layer for the final device. We also investigated the chemical composition of the film by energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy.

Polymeric Acrylate-Based Hybrid Films Containing Lead and Iron Patterned by UV Photo-Polymerization

“…1. We have previously synthesized an initial film containing lead, however this current formulation is more stable than previously reported 22. In this new study, the iron formulation is particularly intriguing and has the potential to be incorporated into magnetically-actuated devices.…”

Breath Analysis: Analytical Methodologies and Clinical Applications

“…[89][90][91][92][93]. Organic [94][95][96] or inorganic [97][98][99] materials are used as active layers in such gas sensing devices. Recently, the development of inorganicorganic hybrid nanocomposites containing conducting polymers as the organic part and metal oxides as the inorganic one have been reported [100,101].…”

Generation of paramagnetic hybrid inorganic/organic thin films

“…These properties can be introduced into a material by design due to properties innate to film components or these features can be introduced during the synthesis. Hybrid organometallic films have recently attracted considerable attention as they have the advantages of both organic and inorganic materials, which include ease in processing, superior resistance to chemicals and excellent mechanical and optical properties 10–14. Typically, metallic films are deposited either by vacuum deposition systems or by wet chemistry electrodeposition.…”

“…Typically, metallic films are deposited either by vacuum deposition systems or by wet chemistry electrodeposition. Our group has previously reported the development of hybrid films containing lead 10. Here, we report the development of novel photo‐patternable paramagnetic hybrid inorganic/organic thin films where a paramagnetic material‐containing polymer thin film is patterned directly onto a substrate such as a silicon wafer.…”
