HOECHST AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT HOE 91/F 075 Dr. SP/rh Description Amphiphilic polymers containin~ silane units and film comprising at least one monomolecular layer produced therefrom The invention relates to specific amphiphilic copolymers containing silane units, a film comprising at least one monomolecular layer of these molecules on a solid support (= so-called layer elements), and a process for the preparation of the layer elements and their use.

Ordered layers of organic polymers having long-chain side groups are predominantly prepared by using the Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) method. In this method, molecules are spread on a water surface and the long alkyl side groups are aligned in parallel by decreasin~ the area per molecule. At a constant pressure, the molecules are applied to a substrate by immersion and withdrawal. Per dipping operation, one monomolecular layer is transferred with retention of its order.

LB films are constructed by using amphiphilic molecules, i.e. molecules having a hydrophilic end (a "head") and a hydrophobic end (a "tail"). In order to achieve higher stability of the LB films, polymeric LB films have also already been prepared.

Preparation of polymeric LB films can be carried out by polymerization of unsaturated amphiphiles after formation of the monomer film. However, organic polymers having long alkyl side chains have also already been used directly for preparation of the layer (WO 83J03165, R. Elbert, A. Laschewsky and H. Ringsdorf, J. Am. Chem.
Soc. 107, 4134-4141 (1985)). Copolymer films have also already been described (A. Laschewsky, H. Ringsdorf, G. Schmidt and J. Schneider, J. ~m. Chem. Soc. 109, 788-796 (1987)). In these copolymers, one of the comonomers carries at least one long alkyl chain, while .: . ~ : :
: , 2~325 -the second monomer is water-soluble, or carries at least - polar and hydrophilic groups. If such polymer films are intended to be used as resist materials, such as, for example, described by R. Jones, C.S. Winter, R.H. Tredgold, P. Hodge and A. Hoorfar, Polymer 28, 1619-1626 (1987), the problem of insufficient etching stability of these films during plasma etching arises.

However, it is known from resist technology that the etching stability of photoresists in an oxygen plasma can be drastically increased by incorporating silicon com-pounds. Thus, aliphatic and~or aromatic hydroxyl-carrying polymeric binders have been described which contain silanyl groups in the side chain which, as components of a photosensitive mixture, give this mixture increased resistance to plasma etching ~EP-A-0,337,188). The photosensitive layer, which is formed by spin-coating the substrate with a resist solution containing such a binder and compounds from the class of compounds of o-quinone diazides, has a layer thickness of 0.3 to 10 ~m. A
disadvantage for microelectronic applications, for example high-resolution electron beam lithography, is the relatively high layer thickness of resist films of this type.

Furthermore, Langmuir-Blodgett layers of amphiphilic polysiloxanes are known (Adv. Mater. 3 (1991), 27). It is true that they have good etching resistance in an oxygsn plasma, but for many applications they have only insuffi-cient temperature resistance, owing to the siloxane main chain.

Accordingly, the object is to prepare polymers from which Langmuir-Blodgett films can be formed which have improved resistance to temperature and plasma etching.

The in~ention relates to amphiphilic copolymers contain-ing silanyl groups and structural units derived from at least one monomer of the formula I

Copolymers (i.e. ter- and multipolymers) which in addi-tion to the structural units derived from monomers of formula I and II contain at least one structural unit derived from further functional comonomers, for example those leading to radiation-induced crosslinking of the polymers, are also suitable ~or the purposes of the invention. Further comonomers are also monomers having long alkyl chains, for example monomers such as described by Jones et al., Elbert et al. and Laschewsky et al. in the abovementioned publication~ and in WO 83/03165.
Moreover, hydrophilic, preferably water-soluble, vinyl monomers, such as, for example, itaconic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, acrylic acid, cyanoacrylic acid and methacrylic acid or derivatives thereof are suitable as comonomers.

Particular preference is given to those comonomers carry-ing radiation-crosslinkable units.

The proportion of structural units derived from silanyl-containing monomers of the formula II in the copolymercan be 5 to 98, preferably 30 to 85 and in particular 30 to 70, mol ~. The proportion of structural units derived from monomers of the formula I in the copolymer can be 95 to 2, preferably 70 to 15 and in particular 70 to 30, mol %, the proportions of the structural units adding up to a total of lO0 mol %.

In copolymers containing structural units derived from at least one mon~mer each of the formula I and II and at least one further functional comonomer, preferably containing a radiation-crosslinkable unit, the propor~ion of structural units derived from monomers of the formula I can be 90 to 5, preferably 60 to 20, mol %, the proportion of structural units derived from monomers of - ~ , , ::

the formula II can be 5 to 90, prefera~ly 20 to 60, mol %, and the proportion of structural units derived from further functional comonomers can be 5 to 60, preferably 20 to 40, mol ~, 1he proportions of the structural units adding up to a total of 100 mol %.

The polymerization is preferably carried out as a free-radical polymerization with the addition of a freP-radical initiator using con~entional methods.

The polymers or films according to the invention can also be mixed with further appropriate components, for e~ample with dyes, amphiphilic crosslinking agents, monomeric or polymeric amphiphiles. The proportion of these additives in such mixtures can be 1 to 80 ~ by weight.

The films are prepared according to the invention by dissolving the organic polymers or mixtures containing preferably 10 - 100 % by weight of the polymers according to the invention in a substantially volatile, water-immiscible solvent and placing (= spreading) them on the surface of an aqueous solution in a film balance.
The average area per repeating unit is calculated from the dLmension of the surface, the spreading volume and the concentration of the solution. Phase transitions during compression of the molecules can ~e monitored via the force/area isotherm.

The molecules are compressed by means of a barriex, as a result of which the alkyl chains are aligned substantial-ly perpendicular to the boundary layer with increasing surface density. During compression, a highly ordered monomolecular film, whose constant layer thickness is substantially determined by the chain length of the alkyl side chain of the polymers and their tilting angle (i.e.
the angle at which the molecular chains on the water surface are tilted with respect to the normal) is formed at the bounda~ layer through self-organization of the molecules. The typical thickness of such a film is -- 8 - 206~2~
0.5 - ~ nm.

~t a constant pressure, the film is removad from the water surface by immersion or withdrawal of a suitable substrate with retention of the order.

In most cases, the subphase used for the monofilm preparation is ~ater or aqueous solutions. However, other liquids having a high surface tension, such as, for example, glycerol, glycol, dimekhyl sulfoxide, dimethyl-formamide or acetonitrile can also be used.

Suitable substrates are any solid, preferably dimen-sionally stable, substrates made of a variety of mater-ials. The substrates which serve as support can be, for example, transparent or op~que, electrically conducting or insulating. The substrate can be hydrophobic or hydrophilic. The surface of the substrate to which the LB
layer is applied can have been made hydrophobic. The surface of the substrate to be coated should be as pure as possible so as not to disturb formation of a thin ordered layer. The presence of surface-active substances on the surface of the substrates to be coated can in particular impair preparation of the layer. It i5 possible to provide the substrates serving as support with an intermediate layer on the surface to be coated before applying the LB films, in order to improve, for ~5 example, adhesion of the film to the substrate.

Examples of materials which can be used for the sub-- strates are metals, such as, for example, gol , platinum, nickel, palladium, aluminum, chromium, niobium, tantalum, titanium, steel and the like. Further suitable materials for the substrates are plastics, such ast for example, polyesters, for example polyethylene terephthaIate or polybutylene terephthalate, polyvinyl chloride, poly-vinylidene chloride, polytetrafluoroeth~lene, poly-styrene, polyethylene or polypropylene.

g In particular semiconductors, such afi silicon, germanium or gallium arsenide or else glass, silicon dioxide, ceramic materials or cellulose products are suitable for the substrates. If required, the surface of glass and other hydrophilic substrates can be made hydrophobic in a manner known per se by reaction with alkylsilanes or hexamethyldisilazanes. The selection of the substrate materials depends primarily on the intended application of the layer elements according to the invention. ~s a rule, for optical elements, transparent substrates are used as supports. If the layer elements according to the invention are used, for example, in electronics or in electrochemical processes, the substrates used are in particular electrically conducting materials, such as metal or metallic surface layers, for example on plastic sheets or glass.

The substrates which serve as carriers for the films according to the invention can, depending on the par-ticular application, have any desired form. For example, 2D they can be in the form of films, sheets, slabs, tapes or even cylinders or can be selected from other forms. I~
general, the supports will be flat planar substrates, such as, for example, films, sheets, slabs, tapes and the like. The surface of the substrates to be coated i5 preferably smooth, as is customary for the preparation of ~B films. In the case of flat planar substrates, the films according to the invention can be applied to one or both surfaces of the substrate.

The multi-layer structure which can be readily prepared from the polymers according to the invention is distin-guished by a small number of defects and good temperature and etching resistance.

Such films on substrates are suitable, for example, for optical waveguide or for the production of filters for optical purposes. Substrates containing films prepared from copolymers according to the invention, which contain .

radiationcrosslinkable units, are also used for lithographic purposes. Owing to the low critical surface tension, the film~ are also suitable for improving the friction properties of materials and for the production of protective layers.

The invention is illustrated in more detail by the examples which follow. The solvents used for the synthesis of the monomers are dried by conventional methods (for example by molecular sieve~. The polymeriza-tions are carried out in an inert gas atmosphere, forexample of nitrogen.

Example 10: Film preparation by the Langmuir-Blodgett method A microscope slide made of glass (76 mm x 26 mm) is cleaned by the following method:

The glass is placed in a freshly prepared mixture of four parts of conc. H2S04 and one part of 30 ~ Hz02, whose temperature i8 60C, for one hour, rinsed off with water of high purity and cleaned in an alkaline, ~urfactant-free cleaning solution, for example ~Extran AP 11 (conc.
2 - 4 g/l) for 15 minutes at a temperature of 50C by means of ultrasound. The glass is then thoroughly rinsed with water of high purity (18 mohm, free of particles) and dried in a warm air stream. The glass is then made hydrophobic by treating it with hexamethyldisilazane vapor (for 10 minutes at a temperature of 70C).

Multilayers comprising the polymer prepared in Example 3 are transferred by the Langmuir and Blodgett method to the glass support by spreading 0.2 cm3 of a solution of 9.3 mg of the polymer in 10 cm3 of a 9:1 (volume ratio) mixture of methylene chloride and tetrahydrofuran on an aqueous subphase at a subphase temperature of 10C in a Langmuir film balance. By reducing the monofilm-covered water surface, the pressure is adjusted to 20 mN/m and .

kept constant at this value. The support is now Lmmersed perpendicularly from above through the water surface into the film balance (Lmmersion rate: 20 mm/min.) and after a short pause (10 sec.) at the lower turnaround point again withdrawn (withdrawal xate: 20 mm/min.). Each immersion and also each withdrawal process transfers one monolayer to the support. By repeating the dipping process several times after a wait of one minute each at the upper turnaround point, a total of 10 double layers are transferred. The transfer ratios are around 90 %.
Even when 50 and more monolayers are transferred, optically clear, transparent films are obtained.

Films are also obtained from the polymers prepared in Examples 4, 5 and 6, using the same procedure. The transfer conditions for these polymers are as follows:

Polymer from Example: 4 5 6 Subphase temperature: 10C 10C 10C
Pressure: 20 mN/m 20 mN/m 20 mN/m Transfer ratio: 90 ~ 70 ~ 80 %

Example 11: Ellipsometric measurements of the layer thickness and the refractive index Silicon chips (40 mm x 10 mm3 are cut from a silicon wafer and cleaned as follows:

1. Treatment for 1 hour in a freshly prepared mixture comprising one part of 30 ~ H2O2 and four parts of conc. H2SO4 whose temperature is 60C. They are then rinsed with water of high purity.
2. Immersion in an NH4F-buffered HF solution for 30 seconds, followed again by rinsing using water of high purity. After this trea~ment, the silicon chips are hydrophobic (contact angle with water: 75C).

The temperature at which the first c:hange in layer thickness takes place is 140C in layerls made from the polymer prepared in Example 3, 130C in layers made from the polymer prepared in Example 4, :L20C in layers made from the polymer prepared in Example 5, and 130C in layers made from the polymer prepared in Example 6. (For comparison: in LB layers made from 22-tricosenic acid, this temperature is 70C.) Example 13: Measurements of the critical surface tension Silicon chips (40 mm x 10 mm) are cleaned as in Example 11 and coated as in Example 11 with eight mono-layers each made from the polymers prepared inExamples 3, 4, 5 and 6. Droplets of a li~uid from the series of n-alkanes (C~H2~ - C,6H34) are placed on the surface of the transferred layers, and the contact angles of the droplets with the surface are measured. The critical surface tension is determined from these contact angles by the method of Zisman (W.A. Zisman, Adv. Chem.
