Polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS) coatings hybridized with silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanoparticles have emerged as a promising solution. However, systematic studies on how hydrophobicity and transparency depend on nanoparticle properties were rarely reported, hindering practical implementation. In this study, we systematically investigated the hydrophobicity and optical transparency of PDMS coatings hybridized with different contents of SiO2 nanoparticles with various diameters. SiO2 nanoparticles with varying diameters were synthesized using the sol-gel method, followed by the development of PDMS coatings hybridized with SiO2 nanoparticles via spin coating technology. It is demonstrated that the PDMS coatings with larger SiO2 nanoparticles exhibited larger contact angles at low nanoparticle contents. At higher contents, the contact angles remained nearly constant, while transmittance decreased significantly owing to light scattering. Additionally, PDMS coatings hybridized with SiO2 nanoparticles exhibited good mechanical stability and self-cleaning properties, indicating their potential in outdoor applications.

This process has several advantages including low cost, low energy consumption, and easy coverage of large areas. The organic-inorganic hybrid coating solution was prepared by adding decyltrimethoxysilane (DTMS) and phenyl-trimethoxysilane (PTMS) to a solution synthesized based on metal alkoxide precursor (tetraethylsilcate (TEOS)) and alkoxy silanes (3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS)).

All Co(Ru) films exhibited enhanced electrical reliability compared to pure Co, as evidenced by increased breakdown voltages. While resistivity increased slightly with higher Ru content due to solute-induced lattice distortion, the Co(Ru-1.28 at%) film achieved an optimal balance, exhibiting the lowest resistivity, excellent thermal stability, and a smooth, void-free surface after annealing at 700 °C. These findings indicate the dilute Ru incorporation as an effective strategy to enhance the structural integrity and electrical performance of Co-based thin films, highlighting Co(Ru) as a potential candidate for future interconnect applications in nanoscale semiconductor devices.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":23182,"journal":{"name":"Thin Solid Films","volume":"828 ","pages":"Article 140792"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145048502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
