Abstract
The binding structure in the interface region oxide film/polymer has been investigated by means of XPS and is correlated with the adhesion obtained by a Pull Test. Polycarbonate (PC) and diethyleneglycol-bisallylcarbonate (CR39) are employed as substrate and SiOxCyHz-films are deposited by using a pulsed microwave plasma deposition process (PICVD). Best adhesion is obtained by pretreatment of the substrate surface with an O2-plasma which increases the O/C ratio, in combination with a PICVD-process with low precursor content.
