The formation of plasma-deposited materials made from organic molecules is a technologically attractive way to obtain films with unique properties, e.g. adhesion, wettability, conductivity or selected chemical functionalization. A detailed chemical characterization of these films is a great challenge for the analyst because of the co-existence of a large number of chemical species in plasma-deposited films. We investigated these types of organic films using photoelectron spectroscopy for chemical analysis (ESCA, XPS), near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy at synchrotron radiation source BESSY II and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy (ToF-SIMS). A dedicated plasma preparation chamber was designed and added to the main analysis chamber of the respective spectrometers. This approach offers the possibility of studying plasma-deposited films without exposure to air before analysis (often called in-situ analysis) and the influence of post-plasma reactions, i.e. the ageing process. The present investigations are aimed at finding correlations between basic chemical properties of the deposited films and the plasma deposition parameters, e.g. duty cycle in pulsed plasmas and the power of discharge.
Plasma deposited allylamine films were studied by in situ ToF-SSIMS, XPS and NEXAFS Spectroscopy before exposure to ambient air. The influence of external plasma parameters such as duty cycle, plasma power, and monomer flow rate on (i) unsaturation, (ii) branching and cross-linking, (iii) nitrogen surface concentration and (iv) retention of amino groups was investigated. Harder plasma conditions, which can be obtained when high duty cycles, high plasma power, and low monomer flow rates are employed, increase the unsaturated, branched and cross-linked character of the plasma deposited films, while the surface concentration of N as well as the retention of the monomer's amino group decrease. As proven by NEXAFS findings and cross-checked by ToF-SSIMS results, the allylamine monomer's primary amino groups are partially transformed into other nitrogen functionalities during its plasma polymerization. Amongst them imines and nitriles are the conversion products with the highest probabilities of formation. Another conversion channel is the formation of nitrogen species not participating in the film growth. This is the reason for an increased N loss in plasma deposited allylamine films as observed independently by XPS and ToF-SSIMS when the plasma parameters are changed from mild to hard.
Ageing studies of plasma deposited organic films by surface chemical analysis (ESCA, ToF-SIMS, XAS)
(2007)
Plasma deposited ethylene/allylamine and styrene/allylamine copolymer films were prepared and analyzed using XPS, NEXAFS and ToF-SIMS. The relative partial flow rate of the each monomer was used as the variable deposition parameter, while the other deposition parameters were kept constant at optimized values for the retention of functional groups. The effect of the variation in the relative partial flow rates of co-monomers on various chemical aspects of the films like unsaturation, nitrogen retention and branching was investigated revealing several non-linear correlations. This observation is taken as an indication for chemical copolymerization processes during film deposition. An attempt is made to compare these non-linear correlations with approaches which have been developed for classic radical copolymerization processes. The aging behavior of these plasma copolymer films was also studied; the results indicated a stabilization against oxidation in comparison to the aging of allylamine plasma homopolymers.
