Abstract
Abstract Lacquer films sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) and/or electron beam radiationre applied to substrates as masking layers by a process known as the "spin on process". This invention is a new method of applying a lacquer film sensitive to UV and/or electron beam radiation. A vinyl-containing substance and a linear or cyclic siloxane are vaporized and then deposited onto the substrate to be masked. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the substances utilized are octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane and trivinylmethylsilane.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
54 words
A method of applying a lacquer film which is sensitive to UV or electron beam radiation to a substrate to be masked, comprising the method steps of: vaporizing a vinyl-containing substance and a linear or cyclic siloxane substance to form a vapor mixture; and depositing the vapor mixture onto the substrate to be masked.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
54 words
A method of applying a lacquer film which is sensitive to UV or electron beam radiation to a substrate to be masked, comprising the method steps of: vaporizing a vinyl-containing substance and a linear or cyclic siloxane substance to form a vapor mixture; and depositing the vapor mixture onto the substrate to be masked.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
11 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein said siloxane is octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
12 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein said vinyl-containing substance is trivinylmethylsilane.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein the vapor mixture is deposited at a pressure of 0.3 to 1.5 mbar.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
A method according to claim 1, further comprising the step of heating said substrate to a temperature between 20° and 90° C.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
81 words
A method of applying a lacquer film which is sensitive to UV or electron beam radiation to a substrate to be masked, comprising the method steps of: vaporizing a vinyl-containing substance and a linear or cyclic siloxane substance to form a vapor mixture; introducing the vapor mixture into a reaction chamber via a discharge shower; carrying out a chemical reaction of the substances in a high frequency (HF) field; and depositing the chemically reacted substances onto the substrate to be masked.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
81 words
A method of applying a lacquer film which is sensitive to UV or electron beam radiation to a substrate to be masked, comprising the method steps of: vaporizing a vinyl-containing substance and a linear or cyclic siloxane substance to form a vapor mixture; introducing the vapor mixture into a reaction chamber via a discharge shower; carrying out a chemical reaction of the substances in a high frequency (HF) field; and depositing the chemically reacted substances onto the substrate to be masked.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
29 words
A method according to claim 6, wherein said chemical reaction of the substances is carried out at an HF power density of from 0.06 to 0.6 W/cm 2 .
