Embodiments described herein provide methods of processing an electronic component, comprising mixing a bio-based polymer having sulfur-reactive substituents with a sulfurization catalyst and a solvent to form a coating material; applying the coating material to an electronic component; and removing the solvent to form a sulfur-reactive polymer coating that is resistant to sulfur penetration. The bio-based polymer may be made by bacterial fermentation of unsaturated fatty acids.

Disclosed is a composition for a silica-based insulation layer including hydrogenated polysilazane or hydrogenated polysiloxzane, wherein a concentration of a cyclic compound having a weight average molecular weight of less than 400 is less than or equal to 1,200 ppm. The composition for a silica-based insulation layer may reduce a thickness distribution during formation of a silica-based insulation layer, and thereby film defects after chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) during a semiconductor manufacturing process may be reduced.

A pattern is formed by coating a resist composition comprising a fluorine-containing polymer, a base resin, an acid generator, and an organic solvent, baking the composition at 50-300° C. in an atmosphere of a solvent having a boiling point of 60-250° C., exposure, and development. In immersion lithography, the resist film is improved in water repellency and water slip, and LWR after pattern formation is reduced. In EB or EUV lithography, outgassing is suppressed and LWR is reduced.

Described herein are articles and methods of making articles, for example glass articles, including a sheet and a carrier, wherein the sheet and carrier are bonded together using a coating layer, which is, for example, a fluorocarbon polymer coating layer, and associated deposition methods and inert gas treatments that may be applied on the sheet, the carrier, or both, to control the fluorine content of the coating layer and van der Waals, hydrogen and covalent bonding between the sheet and the carrier. The coating layer bonds the sheet and carrier together with sufficient bond strength to prevent delamination of the sheet and the carrier during high temperature processing to while preventing a permanent bond at during high temperature processing while at the same time maintaining a sufficient bond to prevent delamination during high temperature processing.

A fluoride treated medical implant, such as a dental component, is provided, the medical implant comprising fluorinated metal oxide on the substrate surface. A method for the preparation of such treated implants is also provided, the method involving exposure of the medical implant to a fluorine-containing reagent. A dental structure is also provided, which includes a first dental component comprising a fluorinated metal oxide layer on its surface, a silane coupling agent, a dental cement, and a second dental component having a surface bonded to the dental cement. An additional dental structure, which includes a first dental component comprising a fluorinated metal oxide layer on its surface, a dental cement, and a second dental component having a surface bonded to the dental cement is also provided.

A method for applying a sulfonation treatment to a thermoplastic part includes installing a gas sulfonation assembly on one or more surfaces of the thermoplastic part by forming a vacuum bag on the one or more surfaces. The vacuum bag forms a sealed cavity between the vacuum bag and a treatment portion of the one or more surfaces. The method further includes drawing a vacuum in the sealed cavity with the gas sulfonation assembly, directing a sulfonating gas into the sealed cavity with the gas sulfonation assembly to sulfonate the treatment portion, removing the sulfonating gas from the sealed cavity with the gas sulfonation assembly, removing the gas sulfonation assembly from the thermoplastic part, applying a neutralizing agent to the treatment portion, and applying at least one coating to the treatment portion.
