Abstract

The mechanical properties and surface characteristics of parylene thin film were improved using Xylydene-based dimers (DPX-C, DPX-D, and DPX-N). A single-parylene-C, D, N film and a hybrid chemical and physical parylene thin films in which two types are mixed were manufactured for each dimer by adjusting the deposition conditions and the thickness of the thin film by input. Parylene was deposited by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and the thermal characteristics of the single thin film and the hybrid thin film were compared by thermal analysis. The mechanical properties of the thin films were characterized by tensile strength, elongation, and tear force tests, and the surface characteristics of the thin films were evaluated by contact angle and surface energy measurements. The hybrid chemical parylene thin film in which two types are mixed can complement the strengths and weaknesses of the different dimers, while the physical parylene thin film can freely adjust the thin film characteristics of the coated surface and the opposite surface.

패럴린 박막의 기계적 성질과 표면 특성을 개선하기 위해 Xylydene계 다이머(DPX-C, DPX-D, DPX-N)를 사용하여 각각의 다이머에 대한 증착 조건과 투입량에 따른 박막의 두께를 조절함으로써 단일 패럴린-C, D, N 박막과 두 가지 타입이 혼합된 하이브리드 타입의 화학적, 물리적 패럴린 박막을 제조하였다. 패럴린 증착은 화학기상증착법(chemical vapor deposition: CVD)을 이용하였으며, 열분석을 통해 단일 박막과 하이브리드 타입의 박막에 대한 열적 특성을 비교 분석하였다. 인장 강도와 신장율 그리고 인열력 시험을 통해 박막에 대한 기계적 물성을 알아보았으며, 접촉각과 표면 에너지를 측정하여 박막에 대한 표면 특성을 관찰하였다. 두 가지 타입이 혼합된 하이브리드 타입의 화학적 패럴린 박막은 서로 다른 다이머의 장단점을 상호 보완시켜 줄 수 있으며, 물리적 패럴린 박막은 기재에 코팅되는 면과 반대 면의 박막 특성을 자유롭게 조절할 수 있다.
