Abstract

Focused ion beam induced deposition of carbon from various organic molecules was studiedfor a range of temperatures and pressures. To study the effects of vapor pressure, deposition from styrene was compared to deposition from 2-chloro and 2-bromo styrene. To study the effects of the double bond on the vinyl substituent, deposition from ethyl benzeneand 2-bromo ethyl benzene was compared to deposition from the 2-X-styrene materials. Foreach material, deposition yield is found to scale with vapor pressure as a function of temperature over the range studied (0 - 25 C). This behavior shows that physical adsorption plays the key role in determining deposition properties. The importance of the doublebond observed in previous work is simply a manifestation of enhanced physical adsorptiondue to the presence of this double bond.
