Siliceous film deposition parameters: MerckRecent Research Landscape

Surface defects and mechanical instability in thin-film coatings lead to device failure. These innovations control the hardening kinetics and chemical composition to ensure structural integrity across complex geometries.

What technical problems is Merck addressing in Siliceous film deposition parameters?

Inadequate thin film photosensitivity

(16)evidences

Standard siliceous films often suffer from structural fragility, cracking, or poor adhesion during the curing process. Improving the mechanical robustness and density of the cured film prevents structural failure in high-performance applications.

Inadequate dielectric film stability

(11)evidences

Unstable chemical compositions in siloxane precursors lead to film cracking and poor thermal resistance. Improving structural integrity prevents mechanical failure in thin-film layers.
