چکیده
Modification of the surface layer of polyurethane with plasma-immersion ion implantation (PIII) and studying its physical and chemical changes have been discussed in this paper. The goal of the research was to obtain carbonized layer allowing creating biocompatible polyurethane implants. The experiments of PIII treatment in various modes were performed. The investigation of the modified surface characteristics was carried out by observing the kinetics of free surface energy for two weeks after treatment. The regularities between treatment time and the level of free surface energy were detected. The explanation of high energy level was given through the appearance of free radicals in the surface layer of material. The confirmation of the chemical activation of the polyurethane surface after PIII treatment

Surface disorder production during plasma immersion implantation and high energy ion implantation
High-depth-resolution Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS) combined with channeling technique was used to analyze the surface layer formed during plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) of single crystal silicon substrates. Single wavelength multiple angle of incidence ellipsometry (MAIE) was applied to estimate the thickness of the surface layer. The thickness of the disordered layer ...
متن کاملDose–time relation in BF3 plasma immersion ion implantation
Semiconductor devices with shallow junctions can be fabricated using plasma immersion ion implantation. In this technique BF3 gas has been used as the boron dopant source due to its low toxicity. Not only are ions implanted but, because of the fluorine ions, there is etching and deposition at the wafer surface. Therefore, the relationship between total dose and processing time is not straightfo...

Plasma immersion ion implantation from a BF3 plasma into crystalline (100) silicon was performed using the PULSION plasma doping tool. Implanted boron profiles were measured with the SIMS method and simulated using models with different levels of sophistication. The physical implantation model is based on an analytical energy distribution for ions from the plasma and uses a Monte-Carlo simulati...
متن کاملTwo Dimensional Computer Simulation of Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation
The biggest advantage of plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) is the capability of treating objects with irregular geometry without complex manipulation of the target holder. The effectiveness of this approach relies on the uniformity of the incident ion dose. Unfortunately, perfect dose uniformity is usually difficult to achieve when treating samples of complex shape. The problems arise fr...
