Abstract: A Langmuir-Blodgett film may be utilized as a chemically amplified photoresist layer. Langmuir-Blodgett films have highly vertically oriented structures which may be effective in reducing line edge or line width roughness in chemically amplified photoresists.

Abstract: A polymer memory device includes two organic adhesion layers that facilitate an integral package comprising a lower and an upper electrode and the ferroelectric polymer memory structure. The ferroelectric polymer memory structure includes crystalline ferroelectric polymer layers such as single and co-polymer compositions. The structure includes spin-on and/or Langmuir-Blodgett deposited compositions. A memory system allows the polymer memory device to interface with various existing hosts.

Abstract: A quantum device is constituted from a two-dimensional array of quantum dots formed from metal atom aggregates contained in a metalloprotein complex. The metalloprotein is arranged on the surface of a substrate having an insulation layer with a pitch of the size of the metalloprotein complex. The diameter of the metal atom aggregates used in the quantum device is 7 nm or smaller, and the pitch of the metalloprotein complex is preferably from 11 to 14 nm.

Abstract: A process of fabricating a molecular electronic device that preserves the integrity of the active molecular layer of the electronic device during processing is described. In one aspect, a barrier layer is provided to protect a molecular layer sandwiched between a bottom wire layer and a top wire layer from degradation during patterning of the top wire layer. A molecular electronic device structure and a memory system that are formed from this fabrication process are described.

Abstract: A method is provided that produces a good, strong organic monomolecular film having its atoms arranged in a three-dimensionally ordered manner by cleaving a III-V group compound semiconductor substrate in film formation molecules or in a solution containing them, in order to cause selective chemisorption which forms a monomolecular film and then deposits another layer of organic molecule film. In this method, the III-V group compound semiconductor substrate is cleaved in a solution containing SH groups dissolved into a solvent in order to form a self-assembled monolayer and is then placed in another solution, where metallic ions are adsorbed to the surface of the film or where the functional groups are converted by chemical treatment. The substrate is then immersed in a solution containing organic molecules that are selectively chemisorbed to the functional groups.

Abstract: A method for forming upon a reflective layer, such as a reflective conducting layer, within an integrated circuit an Anti-Reflective Coating (ARC) which simultaneously possesses adhesion promotion characteristics for an organic layer to be formed upon the reflective layer. There is first formed upon a semiconductor wafer a reflective integrated circuit layer which may be a hydrophilic reflective integrated circuit layer or a hydrophobic integrated circuit layer. The semiconductor wafer is then immersed into and withdrawn from a Langmuir trough having formed therein a Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) monolayer film of a dye surfactant molecule ordered upon a surface of water. Upon withdrawing the wafer from the Langmuir trough, there is formed upon the reflective integrated circuit layer an ordered LB film of the dye surfactant molecule. The chromophore groups within the dye surfactant molecule and ordered LB film provide ARC characteristics to the reflective layer.

Abstract: Ultra thin organo-ceramic and metal oxide films are prepared under room temperature and atmospheric conditions by exposing .alpha.,.omega.-functional siloxane oligomers and fatty acid metal soaps, respectively, to a combination of ultraviolet light (UV) and ozone (O.sub.3). The process includes the steps of preparing ultra thin .alpha.,.omega.-functional polysiloxane and fatty acid metal soap films using, but not limited to, the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique. The LB technique permits construction of molecular monolayer or multilayer films on a variety of substrates. By using carboxylic acid end groups on the siloxane oligomers, metal ions can be incorporated into the SiOx film after UV-ozone exposure. This technique can be used to make electronically, optically, and chemically important organo-ceramic and metal oxide films on temperature sensitive substrates.
