A method for forming a film on a patterned surface of a substrate by atomic layer deposition (ALD) processing includes: adsorbing onto a patterned surface a first precursor containing silicon or metal in its molecule; adsorbing onto the first-precursor-adsorbed surface a second precursor containing no silicon or metal in its molecule; exposing the second-precursor-adsorbed surface to an excited reactant to oxidize, nitride, or carbonize the precursors adsorbed on the surface of the substrate; and repeating the above cycle to form a film on the patterned surface of the substrate.

A hydrocarbon adsorber and a thermoplastic resin combined and formed to a porous scavenger for insertion into the air intake system of a motor vehicle engine. The resulting porous scavenger adsorbs volatile hydrocarbon molecules from raw fuel remaining in the air intake when the engine is shut off. The adsorbed molecules are then stripped or purged from the scavenger and reintroduced into the air intake when the engine is next started.

A method for making the microporous carbon with modified pore size distribution and advanced sorption behavior. The carbon is derived from metal or metalloid carbides. The method employs the use of oxidant in reaction medium that during the carbide conversion into carbon widens small micropores, which otherwise would be hardly accessed by sorbing molecules or ions in practical applications. The microporous carbon obtained is free of impurities and possesses extremely narrow pore size distribution.

It is intended to provide a functional molecular element having a specific conductivity, which is a functional molecular element having a structure enabling reduction in the contact resistance at the interface between a constituting molecule and an electrode, a process for producing the same and a functional moleucalr device. A n-electron conjugated molecule (1), which is one species of linear tetrapyrrole having an almost disc-shaped central skeleton (2) and a flexible side chain (3) consisting of an alkyl group, is dissolved in 4-pentyl-4'-cyanobiphenyl or tetrahydrofuran and the concentration is adjusted to an appropriate level. This solution is adhered to electrodes (5) and (6) and the solvent is evaporated. Thus, an array structure (4) of the n-electron conjugated molecule (1) is self-organizingly formed. An adsorbed molecule (9) in the first layer of the array structure (4) is fixed in such a manner that its side chain (3) is adsorbed on the surface of the electrode (5) or (6) while the almost disc-shaped face of the sekeleton (2) is adhered in parallel to the surface of the electrode (5) or (6). The stacking direction of the n-electron conjugated molecule (1) in the second layer and thereafter of the array structure (4) is regulated by the n-n interaction between the disc-shaped face of the sekeletons (2).
