  • Method of improving the electrical characteristics of a thin film
    Patent number: 4761211
    Abstract: A method of improving the electrical characteristics of a thin film (1 or 9) formed on a substrate (3 or 11) by a Langmuir-Blodgett process. The method comprises immersing the film (1 or 9) in a fluid (5 or 13) and applying an electrical potential to the substrate (1 or 9) such that a self limiting electrochemical reaction within the fluid (5 or 13) causes any voids in the film (1 or 9) to be preferentially filled.
