Abstract

Liquid phase polymers deposited upon a substrate are cross-linked in the presence of a non-polymer-forming gas plasma to produce solid polymer coatings having improved chemical, thermal, and mechanical properties. The properties of the polymer layers formed in the method may be exploited by producing microelectronic circuitry, optical materials, and barrier coatings for a variety of substrate materials.
