“…4. The XPS of the sputtered PMMA showed the peaks at 287.9 and 289.1 eV corresponding to C -O and C_O bonding confirming the PMMA compound on the silicon substrate [16,17]. The results also support the results obtained by FTIR and NMR techniques.…”

“…Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) is a promising film‐fabrication technique and has been applied to many kinds of materials such as oxides, sulfides and nitrides 15–17. However, PLD has not been employed so often for the fabrication of π ‐conjugated thin films except for studies on C 60 18 and pentacene 19–24. Compared with thermal evaporation processes, it is anticipated that PLD will induce the photodecomposition of organic compounds but it has such advantages as easier evaporation and more process parameters for controlling the film structure and resulting properties.…”

Summary:Combinatorial pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique has been applied to the fabrication of pentacene thin films for field effect devices. The pentacene films were fabricated by PLD with the Nd:YAG laser wavelength, fluence and the substrate temperature as combinatorial parameters. From the IR and UV‐vis absorption spectra and electrical properties of the films, the laser wavelength and fluence have been elucidated to be factors dominating the properties of the film.Schematic diagram of a combinatorial pulsed laser deposition (PLD) system.magnified imageSchematic diagram of a combinatorial pulsed laser deposition (PLD) system.

“…Lasers have been used in many fields. These range from a machining tool in cutting and welding applications [21] to the engineering of surfaces in biomedical or orthopaedic applications [22,23], as well as microfluidics and as a part of the deposition of thin films [24,25]. Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) based lasers are amongst the most well-used systems today.…”

Highly light scattering structures have been generated in a poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) film using a CO2 laser. The haze, and in some cases the transparency, of the PET films have been improved by varying the processing parameters of the laser (namely, scanning velocity, laser output power, and spacing between processed tracks). When compared with the unprocessed PET, the haze has improved from an average value of 3.26% to a peak of 55.42%, which equates to an absolute improvement of 52.16% or a 17-fold increase. In addition to the optical properties, the surfaces have been characterised using optical microscopy and mapped with an optical profilometer. Key surface parameters that equate to the amount and structure of surface roughness and features have been analysed. The CO2 laser generates microstructures at high speed, without affecting the bulk properties of the material, and is inherently a chemical-free process making it particularly applicable for use in industry, fitting well with the high-throughput, roll to roll processes associated with the production of flexible organic photovoltaic devices.
