Studying of spin-coated oxad-Si properties

Purpose: The major aim of this paper was describing technical conditions of polymer thin film deposition by spin-coating techniques. Design/methodology/approach: Thin films of about nanometres thickness were prepared by spin-coating and their properties were studied. As a material for preparing polymer thin films oxad-Si was used. The thin films were deposited with various spinning velocity from solution of different concentration. Thin films were deposited on BK7 glass and quartz substrates. Findings: The obtained results describe influence of the solution concentration and spinning velocity on morphology and optical properties of spin-coated oxad-Si thin films. Research limitations/implications: The obtained results confirm the oxad-Si availability for optoelectronic application to be stipulated. Practical implications: The morphology and optical properties of Oxad-Si polymer thin films were described. This paper include also description of the influence of deposition conditions on properties of polymer thin films. Originality/value: The value of this paper is defining the optimal parameters of spin-coating technology for preparing oxad-Si thin film with the best properties for optoelectronics appliances. This paper describes new experimental polymeric material for spin coating technology. Results of these researches enable to develop the spin-coating technology.
