Conclusions
1. The heating of polymer surfaces associated with vacuum metal deposition is determined by the deposition rate and the deposition time and also by the thermo-physical characteristics of the substrate—growing film system, and at high deposition rates may reach the phase-transition temperatures of the polymers.
2. At deposition rates up to 5 Å/sec the rise in surface temperature can be calculated by solving the usual heat-conduction equation, and at higher rates by solving the nonstationary heat-conduction equation, which makes it possible to take into account the heat transfer characteristics of the substrate— growing film system.
3. The temperature of the polymer condensation surface can be regulated by varying the initial substrate temperature and, moreover, by using the pulsed metal vaporization process.
