Teimor,
           Give me time to research this more.  I have lots of
experience in plasma activation of Teflon but after a few weeks it
returns to its original hydrophobicity.  A colleague of mine says he has
success with plasma activation flowed immediately with a chemical
treatment that a) clings to the activated Teflon and b) presents a
sticky molecule to the outside world for good adhesion I have other
acquaintances who have asked the same question so I will research it
some more.

Dear all,
 I am trying to pattern a thin film of Teflon on silicon substrate. I tried
argon plasma activation, it seems fine, but I have problem with adhesion
of Teflon to silicon. When I do post processing, it will pill of. Any comments
on this will be appreciated very much.
Thanks,
