AbstractAn x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) study of laser treated and heat treated Kapton®indicates that both the treatments result in depleting the carbonyl groups from the sample and leave behind a conducting residue that still contains significant amounts of oxygen and nitrogen. The rapid changes in surface composition coincide with a substantial decrease in the electrical resistivity of the polyimide samples.

The surface composition and bonding of a wide variety of silicon carbide powders and whiskers have been characterized by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Ultrafine SiC powders, grown by a radio frequency plasma process, have been shown to exhibit graphitic carbon and a thin suboxide coating. Whiskers of SiC, grown in a vapor-liquid-solid or proprietary commercial process, were generally covered by heavier oxides than the powders and to a variable degree showed silica-like bonding. Most of the materials were subject to sample charging. Procedures were developed to estimate these charging effects and interpret the complete catalog of XPS spectra from these materials with respect to Fermi-level assignments. Charge independent quantities, such as oxygen Auger parameter and O(1s)–Si(2p) peak position difference, were found to agree with accepted values in the literature while exhibiting trends consistent with suboxide and silica bonding assignments. The data give a broad basis for understanding the feedstock surface chemistry which is involved during fabrication of monolithic or composite silicon carbide materials.

X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) has been used to study adsorption of tetrakis(dimethylamido)titanium (TDMT) on a clean Si surface and surface on which an oxide layer was grown prior to TDMT adsorption. Measurements were carried out at temperatures 80 and 295 K. In addition, decomposition of TDMT on the above substrates yielding titanium nitride coatings was investigated. The change in surface composition as a function of TiNx layer thickness was monitored by XPS. Adsorption at 80 K proceeds without dissociation on both substrates. Photoelectron spectra measured at 295 K indicate presence of surface species containing C-N multiple bond on both substrates and on SiO2/Si substrate formation of species that contain Ti-N-C rings. At 580 K an overlayer consisting predominantly of TiNx was produced by pyrolysis of TDMT. The photoelectron spectra revealed also presence of species with C-N-C, Si-CHx and Ti-C bonds the concentration of which depended on an overlayer thickness. On SiO2/Si substrate decomposition of SiO2 accompanied by titanium oxide formation occurs during initial stages of TDMT pyrolysis.
