Introduction
• AIC of a-Si– Overview
• Reasons for Studying– Wenzel’s Equation– Glass naturally hydrophilic

Process
• Glass Substrate– a-Si deposition using PECVD
• Thin film with appropriate pressure, time, temp, gas flow
– Al deposition using Thermal Evaporator• Thin film with appropriate pressure and deposition rate
– Annealing• Temp= T1, T2, and T3• Time= 5 and 10 minutes
– Al Etch

Characterization
• Wettability– Water Contact Angle (WCA)
• Crystallization– X-Ray Diffraction (XRD)
• Topography– Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy (ESEM)

UVO-Tunable Superhydrophobic to Superhydrophilic Wetting
Transition on Biomimetic Nanostructured Surfaces
Abstract: A novel strategy for a tunable sigmoidal
wetting transition from superhydrophobicity to superhydrophilicity on a continuous nanostructured hybrid film via gradient UV-ozone (UVO) exposure … and superhydrophilic ( H2O < 10 within 1 s) regions simply through the optical images of water droplets on the surface …
