An integrated circuit is a semiconductor wafer containing thousands of tiny resistors, capacitors and transistors. There are several key steps in the fabrication of integrated circuits:
1. Silicon wafers are created by slicing purified silicon crystals into thin discs.
2. A patterned oxide layer is formed on the wafer through a photolithography process using a mask to transfer circuit patterns to the wafer.
3. The wafer then undergoes several post-processing steps like dicing, die bonding, wire bonding and encapsulation before electrical testing verifies its functioning.
The document discusses different methods for producing alumina nanoparticles, including sol-gel, spray pyrolysis, and emulsion combustion methods. Sol-gel produces nanoparticles below 30 nm and allows control of particle properties. Spray pyrolysis controls particle size below 400 nm using an ultrasonic spray of precursor solutions decomposed at 700°C. Emulsion combustion combines emulsion and combustion processes to continuously produce hollow spherical alumina nanoparticles 200-800 nm in size with 10 nm shells.

10. The Plasma Role
Plasma refers to the
forth condition of the
matter, it’s a partially or
totally ionized gas.
16th of June 2009 Institute of Physics - London 10
11. Plasma cleaning
• Cleaning to remove organic pollutants
• Pre-treatment to modify the surface characteristics in
order to increase the adhesion of the metal onto the
substrate, or to prepare the surface for other
treatments, like varnishing, gluing …
16th of June 2009 Institute of Physics - London 11
12. Plasma deposition - PECVD
The plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition is
a polymer based process that consists of a
transparent coating layer, which can be applied also
in the same cycle after the sputter metal deposition
and has the following properties:
• Anti-corrosion
• Hydrophobic / Hydrophilic
• Fireproof
• Scratch proof
16th of June 2009 Institute of Physics - London 12
13. Development on Polymers
Performance of polymers are constantly improving and
therefore fields of applications are quickly increasing.
This means requests for new compatible process in order
to obtain finishing “like” those that were previously
achieved with metals and also brand-new finishes.
This is happening for ex. in the automotive industry and
also with components for household appliances.
16th of June 2009 Institute of Physics - London 13
14. To achieve the higher performance from the deposition, and
follow an economical industrial criteria, the coating and
deposition rate need to be faster and this generate
temperature in the coating process;
the “plastic” substrate can suffer from a thermal shock.
When plastic is not enough performing for sputtering
deposition, it is possible to improve hardness and
brightness of the substrate applying a UV varnish
base-coat.

15. Advantages of UV paint:
• Improved quality (chemically resistant, scratch-
resistant, higher gloss)
• Reduced process time
• Reduced space requirements for equipment
X-rays UV Visible IR
light
16th of June 2009 Institute of Physics - London 15
18. Sputtering and Polymers
In order to eliminate the varnish base-coat,
a polymer with the following characteristics
are required:
• Hardness
• Resistance to temperature
• Brilliancy
• Smooth surface

22. • Solution: Silver-Ion treatment
The treatment is based on an activation by
cold plasma in vacuum and then a ions
deposition of Ag by sputtering.
Ag ions are absorbed by bacteria, breaking
their cell walls, inhibiting reproduction and
interrupting metabolism.
16th of June 2009 Institute of Physics - London 22
23. SILVER: the partner
• Silver coatings are often required on any
kind of reflectors because of its reflection
properties.
• Silver coating for antibacterial
applications.
16th of June 2009 Institute of Physics - London 23
24. Future Commitments
1° :Promote the use of vacuum sputtering in
industry
2° : Extend the use of sputtering and
nanocomposites on polymers and
“technopolymers” as plastic injection is the
simplest manufacturing process to produce a
3D part.
16th of June 2009 Institute of Physics - London 24
25. Sputtering Vs. Electroplating
• Not only sputtering can replace traditional
electroplating in many fields, but even more
important is that it can give new finishings and
conquer new sectors.
• You can sputter any kind of thermosensitive
substrates because the process is at low temperature
• No dangerous wastes
• Reduced space requirements for installation
