Abstract

Macromolecules can show two widely different behaviours during ion bombardement, in the 100 keV energy range, so long as the ion fluence remains below a classical value of 1017 ions/cm2. The ones are subject to a such important volume contraction that they can completely disappear. That is the case of cellulose nitrate used in microelectronics as self-developing resist for ion lithography. The second category shows no significant shrinkage; only a small surface sputtering is observed. We find in this case the electroactive polymers.
