Microstructural Characteristics of Electro-Plated Cu Films by DC and Pulse Systems

Graphene-induced unusual microstructural evolution in Ag plated Cu foils.

Graphene-induced abnormal grain growth of Cu with a grain size of more than 1 mm(2) was observed on Cu-Ag alloy foil, and this phenomenon occurred only with graphene synthesis and only on the Cu-Ag alloy among various types of Cu foils.

Microstructural evolution in Al–Cu–Fe quasicrystalline thin films

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was performed to study the microstructural evolution in Al–Cu–Fe quasicrystalline thin films. Thin films were grown by magnetron sputtering on sodium chloride crystals, which were subsequently dissolved in water to acquire free-standing films. Studies were conducted on the as-deposited sample, and samples that were annealed at 400 8C in Argon and 500 8C in...

Mechanical Properties and Microstructural Evolution of Ta/TaNx Double Layer Thin Films Deposited by Magnetron Sputtering

Crystalline tantalum thin films of about 500nm thickness were deposited on AISI 316L stainless steel substrate using magnetron sputtering. To investigate the nano-mechanical properties of tantalum films, deposition was performed at two temperatures (25°C and 200°C) on TaNx intermediate layer with different N2/Ar flow rate ratio from 0 to 30%. Nano-indentation was performed to obtain the mechani...
