Plasma polymerization of hexamethyldisiloxane: Investigation of the effect of carrier gas related to the film properties
In this work we present the influence of carrier gases in the deposition of low-pressure discharge plasma of hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO). Plasma polymerized HMDSO films were deposited with an inductively-coupled discharge reactor using Ar and O2 as carrier gases. The films deposited in Ar contained...
