| 20090053426 | COBALT DEPOSITION ON BARRIER SURFACES - Embodiments of the invention provide processes for depositing a cobalt layer on a barrier layer and subsequently depositing a conductive material, such as copper or a copper alloy, thereon. In one embodiment, a method for depositing materials on a substrate surface is provided which includes forming a barrier layer on a substrate, exposing the substrate to dicobalt hexacarbonyl butylacetylene (CCTBA) and hydrogen to form a cobalt layer on the barrier layer during a vapor deposition process (e.g., CVD or ALD), and depositing a conductive material over the cobalt layer. In some examples, the barrier layer and/or the cobalt layer may be exposed to a gas or a reagent during a treatment process, such as a thermal process, an in situ plasma process, or a remote plasma process. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20090238990 | SAM oxidative removal for controlled nanofabrication - Improved tip-patterned atomic layer deposition (ALD) is provided by using a scanning probe microscope (SPM) tip to define an oxide pattern in a self-assembled monolayer deposited on a substrate. The oxide pattern can directly define the ALD deposition pattern. Alternatively, the oxide pattern can be removed (e.g., with a chemical etch), and the resulting exposed substrate pattern can be used to define the ALD deposition pattern. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20090274850 | Low cost non-line-of -sight protective coatings - Non-line-of-sight processes for coating complex shaped structures such as metal and ceramic based gas turbine components are disclosed. The processes rely on slurry based methods of coating application, and microwave or plasma arc lamp heating. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20090311438 | Method and Device for Functionalising the Surfaces of Adhesive Closing Parts - The invention relates to a method for functionalising the surfaces of adhesive closing parts which form, with correspondingly formed adhesive closing parts, an adhesive closure that can be repeatedly opened and closed. The surface energy of the adhesive closing part is modified by means of a proton and/or electron exchanging medium, especially in the form of donors or collectors, using high energy in such a way that the physicochemical properties of the material of the adhesive closing part can be adjusted without a coating and with ageing resistance, by the attachment of functional groups of the exchanging medium to the adhesive closing part material. The invention also relates to a device for carrying out one such method. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20100075063 | Method for preparing surface modification coating of metal bipolar plates - A method for preparing a surface modification coating of metal bipolar plates is disclosed, which comprises the following steps: providing a substrate; pre-treating the substrate by processing the substrate, depositing a Ni-layer on the substrate, or a combination thereof, to form an activated layer on the surface of the substrate; packing the substrate in a powder mixture containing a permeated master metal, an activator, and filler powder; and heat-treating the packing to allow the permeated master metal to diffuse into the activated layer and then to form a surface modification coating. The permeation rate of the permeated master metal can be increased due to the activated layer having a high defect concentration. Hence, it is possible to prepare a surface modification coating at a low temperature. The surface modification coating of the present invention can also decrease the interface contact resistance between the bipolar plates and gas diffusion layers. | 03-25-2010 |
| 20100136256 | POWDER COATING METHOD AND PAINT THEREOF - Disclosed is a powder coating method and paint thereof. First, a metal object is applied a voltage. Second, paint is rubbed to carry a static charge, wherein the static charge is opposite to the voltage applied to the metal object. The statically charged paint is then sprayed from a nozzle to the metal object to form a coating covering the metal object surface. The paint composition includes 90 to 99.9 parts by weight of a resin matrix, and 10 to 0.1 parts by weight of a carbon nanocapsule evenly dispersed in the resin matrix. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20110212274 | HYBRID IN-SITU DRY CLEANING OF OXIDIZED SURFACE LAYERS - According to one embodiment, the method includes providing a substrate containing a metal-containing barrier layer having an oxidized surface layer, exposing the oxidized surface layer to a flow of a first process gas containing plasma-excited argon gas to activate the oxidized surface layer and applying substrate bias power during the exposing of the oxidized surface layer to the flow of the first process gas. The method further includes exposing the activated oxidized surface layer to a second process gas containing non-plasma-excited hydrogen gas, wherein the exposure to the first process gas, in addition to activating the oxidized surface layer, facilitates chemical reduction of the activated oxidized surface layer by the second process gas containing the hydrogen gas. A thickness of the metal-containing barrier layer is not substantially changed by the hybrid in-situ dry cleaning process. | 09-01-2011 |
| 20110262657 | Method for Reducing Thin Films on Low Temperature Substrates - A method for producing an electrically conductive thin film on a substrate is disclosed. Initially, a reducible metal compound and a reducing agent are dispersed in a liquid. The dispersion is then deposited on a substrate as a thin film. The thin film along with the substrate is subsequently exposed to a pulsed electromagnetic emission to chemically react with the reducible metal compound and the reducing agent such that the thin film becomes electrically conductive. | 10-27-2011 |
| 20120128893 | METHOD FOR CLOSING HOLES - A method for closing a hole with a coating is provided. The method comprises attaching the subject body to an electric spark machine as a workpiece; bringing an electrode of a powder including an electrically conductive substance close to the subject body so as to lap the electrode over the hole; applying a voltage between the electrode and the subject body so as to generate electric discharge repetitiously to cause a coating closing the hole to grow from a periphery of the hole; and machining an edge of the hole before applying the voltage, or the coating along the edge of the hole during repetition of applying the voltage, to give a bevel. | 05-24-2012 |
| 20130115384 | CONTINUOUS METHOD FOR APPLYING A COVER OVER A METALLIC SHEET - A continuous method for applying coatings to a metal, specifically a metal sheet roll, tape, or any metallic component, which comprises cleaning and heating the metal sheet to a preset temperature and then apply a coating of paint or varnish, which is quickly cured, as the soluble is evaporated by direct contact with hot metal. | 05-09-2013 |
| 20140314965 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DIELECTRIC DEPOSITION - The disclosed invention includes apparatus and methods that may be used for plasma-based deposition of thin layers of material on separate or continuous web substrates at very low temperatures with very low defect density. It achieves superior control of gas phase chemistry by controlling the sequence of introduction of gaseous components. It also has substantially independent control over the rate of chemical processes in the gas and of the amount of power and energy of ion bombardment. Such control enables high quality single and multi-layer films to be deposited cost effectively and uniformly over larger areas under very low temperature conditions. | 10-23-2014 |
| 20140349029 | COATING FOR COOLING AIR HOLES - A method of repairing a component removes a prior coating from an underlying metal substrate. Small cooling air holes extend through the substrate and the coating that is to be removed. A new coating layer is placed on the metal substrate, and over the existing cooling air holes. The location of the cooling air holes is identified by inspecting the coated component for the location of indicators of the coating passing over the cooling air holes. The identified location of the indicators is used to control a cutting tool to remove any new coating from the cooling air holes. The basic method may also benefit new manufacture. | 11-27-2014 |
