Abstract:
Thin films of a cobalt-clusterized poly(ferrocenylsilane) have been shown to behave as a negative-tone resist for UV photolithography, allowing access to feature sizes between 20 and 300 microm. Pyrolysis of the patterned polymer at 900 degrees C under a N(2) atmosphere afforded patterned ferromagnetic ceramics with excellent shape retention.
