Abstract: A method for treating a substrate surface uses Neutral Beam irradiation derived from a gas-cluster ion-beam and articles produced thereby including lithography photomask substrates. One embodiment provides a method of treating a surface of a substrate that contains one or more embedded particles or contains sub-surface damage, comprising the steps of: providing a reduced pressure chamber; forming a gas-cluster ion-beam comprising gas-cluster ions within the reduced pressure chamber; accelerating the gas-cluster ions to form an accelerated gas-cluster ion-beam along a beam path within the reduced pressure chamber; promoting fragmentation and/or dissociation of at least a portion of the accelerated gas-cluster ions along the beam path; removing charged particles from the beam path to form an accelerated neutral beam along the beam path in the reduced pressure chamber; holding the surface in the beam path; and treating at least a portion of the surface of the substrate by irradiation.

Abstract: A method of modifying the surface of a medical device to release a drug in a controlled way by providing a barrier layer on the surface of one or more drug coatings. The barrier layer consists of modified drug material converted to a barrier layer by irradiation by an accelerated neutral beam derived from an accelerated gas cluster ion beam. Also medical devices formed thereby.
