Book Plasma Immersion Surface Modification with Metal Ion Plasma

Download or read book Plasma Immersion Surface Modification with Metal Ion Plasma written by and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We describe here a novel technique for surface modification in which metal plasma is employed and by which various blends of plasma deposition and ion implantation can be obtained. The new technique is a variation of the plasma immersion technique described by Conrad and co-workers. When a substrate is immersed in a metal plasma, the plasma that condenses on the substrate remains there as a film, and when the substrate is then implanted, qualitatively different processes can follow, including' conventional' high energy ion implantation, recoil implantation, ion beam mixing, ion beam assisted deposition, and metallic thin film and multilayer fabrication with or without species mixing. Multiple metal plasma guns can be used with different metal ion species, films can be bonded to the substrate through ion beam mixing at the interface, and multilayer structures can be tailored with graded or abrupt interfaces. We have fabricated several different kinds of modified surface layers in this way. 22 refs., 4 figs.

Book excerpt: This dissertation, "In Vitro and in Vivo Study of Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation (PIII) Treated Polyetheretherketone (PEEK)" by Yu-wah, Chong, 莊瑜華, was obtained from The University of Hong Kong (Pokfulam, Hong Kong) and is being sold pursuant to Creative Commons: Attribution 3.0 Hong Kong License.

Abstract: Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), a polymer with mechanical strength comparable to human bone, is gaining popularity in the orthopedic field because it can potentially relieve the clinical complications, such as stress shielding effect and inevitable implantation failure, which are caused by the mismatch of the mechanical strength between the current metallic implants and the implantation sites. However, it is bio-inert and requires supplementary modification. Plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) has been well documented that it is a good way to improve the bioactivity of a biomaterial. It is a method that introduces new elements to the biomaterial, generating bio-functional groups on the material surface without altering its mechanical properties. Hence, the aim of this study is to improve the bioactivity of PEEK by modifying its surface chemistry with the use of water (H2O) and ammonia (NH3) plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) without altering its mechanical properties. After PIII treatment, a series of surface characterization tests that provide information about the surface properties, such as surface energy, roughness, surface chemical composition and crystallinity of PIII-treated PEEK were carried out. Results show that both H2O PIII and NH3 PIII-treated PEEK had significantly higher surface energy and roughness than untreated PEEK. There was also no significant change in the crystallinity of the PIII-treated PEEK, indicating that PIII treatment will not alter the mechanical properties of PEEK. Improvement in wetting properties of PEEK samples suggest the formation of polar functional groups on the PIII-treated PEEK materials, while the increased in surface roughness may be due to the energetic bombardments of plasma ions on the material surface. The in vitro bioactivity of plasma-treated PEEK was investigated and confirmed with hMSC-TERT. Initial cell attachment, cell spreading area, cell proliferation and differentiation were studied. Cell adhesion and cell spreading were enhanced on PIII-treated PEEK, and higher cell viability was observed on PIII-treated PEEK. Moreover, cell proliferation was promoted on early time point and cell differentiation was also enhanced particularly on day 7 by measuring the alkaline phosphatase activity. Therefore, H2O-PIII and NH3-PIII treatments were able to promote the bioactivity of PEEK samples.

Book From Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation to Deposition

Download or read book From Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation to Deposition written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plasma immersion techniques of surface modification are known under a myriad of names. The family of techniques reaches from pure plasma ion implantation, to ion implantation and deposition hybrid modes, to modes that are essentially plasma film deposition with substrate bias. In the most general sense, all plasma immersion techniques have in common that the surface of a substrate (target) is exposed to plasma and that relatively high substrate bias is applied. The bias is usually pulsed. In this review, the roots of immersion techniques are explored, some going back to the 1800s, followed by a discussion of the groundbreaking works of Adler and Conrad in the 1980s. In the 1990s, plasma immersion techniques matured in theoretical understanding, scaling, and the range of applications. First commercial facilities are now operational. Various immersion concepts are compiled and explained in this review. While gas (often nitrogen) ion implantation dominated the early years, film-forming immersion techniques and semiconductor processing gained importance. In the 1980s and 1990s we have seen exponential growth of the field but signs of slowdown are clear since 1998. Nevertheless, plasma immersion techniques have found, and will continue to have, an important place among surface modification techniques.

Book excerpt: Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation (PIII) is a burgeoning technology in the field of surface modification as well as in semiconductor electronics. Modelling of this technique is an important aspect especially in VLSI/ULSI technology. In this work, more generalized and better realistic dynamic sheath analytical models for collisionless and collisional PIII process, incorporating sheath dynamics and its transient evaluation for multiple species plasma, have been suggested that can help in monitoring the doping and in studying the behaviour of a PIII system. The basics about PIII process technique, its applications and analytical models developed by various researchers have first been reviewed and then the analytical models suggested by the author have been discussed. To demonstrate the validity of these models, calculations for pure He, pure Ar and mixed plasma of He and Ar ions, have also been discussed in this work. This book is useful both as a graduate text as well as a research monograph for upcoming scientists, especially those who are interested in exploring the theoretical aspect of PIII technique at an analytical level.

Book Metal Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation and Deposition

Download or read book Metal Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation and Deposition written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metal Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation and Deposition (MePIIID) is a hybrid process combining cathodic arc deposition and plasma immersion ion implantation. The properties of metal plasma produced by vacuum arcs are reviewed and the consequences for MePIIID are discussed. Different version of MePIIID are described and compared with traditional methods of surface modification such as ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD). MePIIID is a very versatile approach because of the wide range of ion species and energies used. In one extreme case, films are deposited with ions in the energy range 20--50 eV, and at the other extreme, ions can be implanted with high energy (100 keV or more) without film deposition. Novel features of the technique include the use of improved macroparticle filters; the implementation of several plasma sources for multi-element surface modification; tuning of ion energy during implantation and deposition to tailor the substrate-film intermixed layer and structure of the growing film; simultaneous pulsing of the plasma potential (positive) and substrate bias (negative) with a modified Marx generator; and the use of high ion charge states.
