Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
139 words
A method of forming a layer of polymethyl methacrylate on a surface of silicon dioxide of a substrate comprising: treating said surface of silicon dioxide with a solution of carboxylic acid and thereafter drying said surface, depositing a solution of polymethyl methacrylate on the treated surface of silicon dioxide, spinning said substrate with said solution of polymethyl methacrylate on said surface of silicon dioxide at a speed and for a time to spread said solution over said surface and to remove the solvent of said solution of polymethyl methacrylate thereby forming said layer of polymethyl methacrylate on said surface of silicon dioxide, heating said layer of polymethyl methyacrylate on said surface of silicon dioxide at a temperature and for a time to remove residue of the solvent of said solution of polymethyl methacrylate in said layer of polymethyl methacrylate.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
139 words
A method of forming a layer of polymethyl methacrylate on a surface of silicon dioxide of a substrate comprising: treating said surface of silicon dioxide with a solution of carboxylic acid and thereafter drying said surface, depositing a solution of polymethyl methacrylate on the treated surface of silicon dioxide, spinning said substrate with said solution of polymethyl methacrylate on said surface of silicon dioxide at a speed and for a time to spread said solution over said surface and to remove the solvent of said solution of polymethyl methacrylate thereby forming said layer of polymethyl methacrylate on said surface of silicon dioxide, heating said layer of polymethyl methyacrylate on said surface of silicon dioxide at a temperature and for a time to remove residue of the solvent of said solution of polymethyl methacrylate in said layer of polymethyl methacrylate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
13 words
The method of claim 1 in which said carboxylic acid is acetic acid.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
55 words
The method of claim 2 in which said surface of silicon dioxide of said substrate is treated with said solution of acetic acid by depositing said solution of acetic acid on said surface of silicon dioxide and thereafter spinning said substrate at a speed and for a time to dry said surface of silicon dioxide.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
The method of claim 2 in which the solvent of said acetic acid solution is water.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
16 words
The method of claim 2 in which said solvent of said acetic acid solution is toluene.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
16 words
The method of claim 2 in which said solution of acetic acid is a dilute solution.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
17 words
The method of claim 1 in which the solvent of said solution of polymethyl methacrylate is toluene.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
17 words
The method of claim 1 in which the solvent of said solution of polymethyl methacrylate is chlorobenzene.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
29 words
The method of claim 1 in which the heating of said substrate is done at a temperature less than the temperature at which significant decomposition of polymethyl methacrylate occurs.
