Summary :

Thin films of Teflon AF 1600 were prepared by an electron-assisted (e-assist) deposition method. IR analysis revealed that the e-assist deposition generates small amount of polar groups such as carboxylic acid in the molecular structure of the deposited films. The polar groups contributed to increase intermolecular interaction and led to remarkable improvement in the adhesion strength and robustness of the films especially when a bias voltage was applied to the substrate in the course of e-assist deposition. The vapor-deposited Teflon AF films had refractive indices of 1.35 to 1.38, and were effective for antireflection coatings. The use of e-assist deposition slightly increased the refractive index as a trade-off for the improvement of film robustness.
