| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have proposed a new ab initio scheme to evaluate the Hamaker constant that is industrially useful for wettability control. Combined with our highly accurate ab initio method, the scheme applied to benzene as benchmark provided an accurate value of the constant comparable with experiments, which validates our scheme. We also applied the scheme to cyclohexasilane that is used as precursor ink to fabricate amorphous silicon thin films, getting a physically reasonable value of Hamaker constant. Thus, our developed methodology can be expected to make it possible to carry out various molecular dynamics simulations for wettability analysis of ink droplets. Such simulations would be necessary toward practical application of the next-generation liquid process (printed electronics) that is a more saving and lower environmental impact technique for fabricating various type of semiconductors, without using an expensive vacuum equipment in the conventional processes.
