Comments:
  • DDMS: dimethyldichlorosilane
    DDMS CAS# = [75-78-5]
  • This process includes an in-situ O2 clean prior to the deposition by default. If you do not wish to use the O2 clean please unselect the "perform O2 surface prep" option above.
  • The O2 clean procedure is 5mins long with 80 sccm O2 / 200 watts.
  • Uniform contact angle not assured if plasma clean not selected.
  • The standard process with O2 clean gives a water contact angle of SiO2 after coating = 101 degrees.
