RESUMO

This work reports the influence of the ion implantation on the properties of thin plasma polymer films deposited from radiofrequency (40 MHz, 70 W) plasmas of two organic compounds (acetylene and benzene) and from their mixtures with noble gases. The irradiations were performed with an ion implanter, using He+, N+ and Ar+ ions, in the fluence and energy range of 1018 to 1021 ions/m2 and 50 to 150 keV, respectively. Infrared and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopies were employed to characterize the structural and optical properties of the films, respectively. Using Electron Paramagnetic Resonance spectroscopy, the formation of free radicals in the film structure was investigated as a function of the ion beam energy and fluence. Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy (RBS) was employed to determine the elemental composition of the samples and its change induced by the irradiation. Thicknesses of the films were measured with a profilemeter. Combination of the RBS and film thickness data allowed the determination of the density of the films. Hardness measurements were performed using the nanoindentation technique and the electrical resistivity of the films was determined by the two-point probe. The resistance to oxidation was determined from the etching rate of the polymers in an oxygen plasma. Interpretation of various experimental results were based on the implanted ion and energy loss simulation profiles, obtained with the TRansport of Ions in Matter ? TRIM code
