Future preparation of thin films based on these materials requires the stability of the substituted fullerenes against chemical handling and processing steps. The latter issue was addressed by our NEXAFS studies that were done by synchrotron radiation at the beam line U49/2-PGM2 at BESSY II. Performed were the C K-edge NEXAFS studies in total fluorescence and total electron yield modes. The C60 based films were deposited on silicon by spraying from solutions. The influence of the different substitutional groups with C60 molecules was studied. The data were compared to the reference spectra of a pure C60 film. For C60(OH)24, C60-Cl2 and C60(CF3)12 a variance of the intensity of the π*-resonance as well as shift to higher energies of 0.5 eV (-OH), 0.6 eV (-F), 0.7 eV (-Cl) were observed. The results confirm the necessary stability of the used C60 derivatives and shall be used for optimization of the film deposition chemistry and conditions.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MichlingFriedrichSchmeisseretal., author = {Michling, Marcel and Friedrich, Daniel and Schmeißer, Dieter and Koval, Yuri and M{\"u}ller, Paul}, title = {Study of polyimide after graphitization with low-energy Ar+ Ion irradiation by NEXAFS}, series = {Verhandlungen der Deutschen Physikalischen Gesellschaft, Reihe 6, Bd. 44}, booktitle = {Verhandlungen der Deutschen Physikalischen Gesellschaft, Reihe 6, Bd. 44}, publisher = {Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft}, address = {Bad Honnef}, issn = {0420-0195}, pages = {S. 147}, abstract = {In this contribution we report on investigations of the electronic structure of Ar+ irradiated polyimide samples by using NEXAFS. The NEXAFS measurements were done at the U49/2-PGM2 beam line of BESSY II, Berlin using TEY and TFY detection. Polyimide samples are prepared using low Ar+ dose while the temperature of the samples is varied between 300K and 700K. In the NEXAFS data at the Carbon K-edge we see substantial changes between different samples. The differences appear in particular in the more surface sensitive TEY-Signal. The NEXFS data are consistent with the graphitization of the surface upon Ar+ bombardment as we identify the characteristic absorption bands of graphitic carbon. Its relative content increases with increasing sample temperature. In contrast, in the more bulk sensitive TFY data, the emission characteristic of polyimide is maintained. The possibility to cover insulating polymers with a conducting layer is a great demand for many applications. Because of the relative low price of the basic materials, the irradiation with low-energy Ions will play an important roll in the microelectronic of the future.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{FriedrichMichlingSchmeisseretal., author = {Friedrich, Daniel and Michling, Marcel and Schmeißer, Dieter and Koval, Yuri and M{\"u}ller, Paul}, title = {Characterization of ion beam modified polyimide layers}, series = {Verhandlungen der Deutschen Physikalischen Gesellschaft, Reihe 6, Bd. 45}, booktitle = {Verhandlungen der Deutschen Physikalischen Gesellschaft, Reihe 6, Bd. 45}, publisher = {Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft}, address = {Bad Honnef}, issn = {0420-0195}, pages = {S. 247}, abstract = {Ion beam modified polyimide show high conductivity.

The Si substrate was etched with NH4F before ALD to remove the native oxide film and to produce a Si-H termination. In-situ experiments by means of photoemission and X-ray absorption spectroscopy were conducted with synchrotron radiation on Ti-oxide films produced using Ti-tetra-iso-propoxide (TTIP) and water as precursors. O1s, Ti2p, C1s, and Si2p core level, and O1s and Ti2p absorption edges show the transition of the Ti-oxide properties during the first layers. The growth starts with a very small growth rate (0.03nm/cycle) due to the growth inhibition of the Si-H termination and proceeds with higher growth rate (0.1nm/cycle) after 1.5nm Ti-oxide has been deposited.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{TallaridaMichlingDasetal., author = {Tallarida, Massimo and Michling, Marcel and Das, Chittaranjan and Friedrich, Daniel and St{\"a}dter, Matthias and Schmeißer, Dieter}, title = {Role of substrate chemistry in ALD revealed by in-situ techniques}, series = {Verhandlungen der Deutschen Physikalischen Gesellschaft, Reihe 6, Bd. 47}, booktitle = {Verhandlungen der Deutschen Physikalischen Gesellschaft, Reihe 6, Bd. 47}, publisher = {Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft}, address = {Bad Honnef}, issn = {0420-0195}, abstract = {We show recent results of our in-situ investigations where the role of substrate chemistry in ALD is outlined. While the usual strategy to develop new properties of ALD films is to find new precursors or new procedures, the influence of substrate chemistry on the growth properties of ALD films has been often underestimated. This has principally a technical reason, as the usual characterization methods (QMS, FTIR, ellipsometry) are only weakly sensitive to the substrate, and a characterization of substrates before ALD is often not possible. Thanks to the use of in-situ characterization methods, including photoemission and X-ray absorption spectroscopy with synchrotron radiation, we are able to determine chemical properties of substrates before ALD and after either half or complete ALD cycles. The substrate chemistry influences the standard Al2O3 ALD with TMA and water [1,2], as well as the TiO2 ALD with TTIP and either water, O2 or O2-plasma. [1] M. Tallarida, K. Kukli, M. Michling, M.
