ALUMINAFILM
Aluminafilm is a solution which forms a film that upon heating to 400oC
decomposes to yield a thin film of alumina (A1203).
PROCESSING
Aluminafilm is applied by spinning. At a spin speed of 5000 rpm the alumina film which
results after baking at 400oC for 1 hour in air or in oxidizing atmosphere
exhibits a thickness of 1200 angstroms and an index of refraction of 1.53. Aluminafilm
will adhere to most surfaces regardless of whether the surface is hydrophilic or
hydrophobic.
Aluminafilm is etched extremely rapidly in diluted HF solution. In 5 percent ammonium
hydroxide solution at 25oC, the etch is 1000 angstroms per minute.
CONTAMINANTS
The concentration of metallic contaminants is determined by atomic absorption the limits
are as follows:
| Na | less than 1 ppm |
| Fe | less than 1 ppm |
| Ni | less than 1 ppm |
| Cu | less than 1 ppm |
| Mn | less than 1 ppm |
| Au | less than 1 ppm |
| Ag | less than 1 ppm |
| Zn | less than 1 ppm |
Aluminafilm is acidic and protective glasses should be worn during use.
