    Depth Profile Analysis of the Modified Layer of Poly(vinyltrimethylsilane) Films Treated by Direct-Current Discharge

    by Mikhail Piskarev, Elena Skryleva, Alla Gilman, Boris Senatulin, Alexander Zinoviev, Daria Syrtsova, Vladimir Teplyakov, Alexander Kuznetsov

    Previously, we found that modification of the membrane surface from polyvinyltrimethylsilane (PVTMS) by treatment with low-temperature plasma induced by low pressure DC discharge leads to a significant increase in gas separation characteristics. To understand the mechanism of this phenomenon, in this article XPS combined with precision etching 10 keV beam of Ar2500+ clusters was used for depth profiling of PVTMS spin-coated films before and after DC discharge treatment. The etching craters depths were measured by stylus surface profiler. The average etching rate of the untreated PVTMS film by Ar2500+ clusters was defined (230 nm/min). It was found that the low temperature plasma treatment of PVTMS leads to a sharp increase in the oxygen concentration on a surface with a simultaneous decrease in the carbon content. The experimental data obtained indicate also that the treatment of PVTMS film by plasma leads not only to a change in the chemical structure of the surface, but also to the formation of a gradient subsurface layer with a thickness of about 50 nm.
