Abstract

Thermal chemical vapor deposition treatment is disclosed. Specifically, a thermal chemical vapor deposition treated article includes a substrate, and an oleophobic treatment to the substrate, the oleophobic treatment having oxygen, carbon, silicon, fluorine, and hydrogen. The oleophobic treatment has a treatment thickness of less than 600 nm and a heterogeneous wetting regime. The thermal chemical vapor deposition process includes positioning an article within a thermal chemical vapor deposition chamber, thermally reacting dimethylsilane to produce a layer, oxidizing the layer to produce an oxidized layer, and fluoro-functionalizing the oxidized layer to produce an oxidized then fluoro-functionalizing dimethylsilane chemical vapor deposition treatment. The oxidized then fluoro-functionalizing dimethylsilane chemical vapor deposition treatment has a treatment thickness of less than 600 nm and a heterogeneous wetting regime.
