Cu seed layers for future interconnects must have conformal step coverage, smooth surface morphology, and strong adhesion. Conformal deposition had been achieved by chemical vapor deposition CVD , but CVD Cu films have rough surfaces and poor adhesion. In this paper, conformal, smooth, adherent, continuous, and thin 9 nm Cu films were made by CVD. CuON was deposited from a Cu-amidinate precurso...

Abstract: Flow induced crystallization of semi-crystalline polymers is an important issue in polymer science and engineering because the changes in morphology strongly affect the properties of polymer materials. In this study, a phase field technique considering polymer characteristics was established for modeling and predicting the resulting morphologies. The considered crystallization process...

The morphology of the heterogeneous CrxTi1-xSe2 and CrxTi1-xS2 single crystals has been studied using X-ray scanning photoemission microscopy (SPEM) angular resolved spectroscopy (ARPES). A direct method SPEM provided us insight into origin blurred ARPES images for Cr0.78Ti0.36Se2 crystal. Using SPEM, we confirmed formation CrSe2-based structural fragments inside with x ≥ 0.75. chemical composi...

To obtain crystal products with ideal morphology and better quality, it is important to fully understand grasp the affecting mechanism of solvents on morphology. In this work, interactions between solvent/solute molecules different faces pyriproxyfen are investigated by a combination experiments molecular simulations. It found that crystals grow into lamellar in methanol ethanol, while grows th...

Novel uniform single-crystal boehmite leaf-like nanosheets with high anisotropy (with a lateral size of (4.5±0.5 μm)×(9.0±1.0 μm) and a thickness of 60–90 nm) and flower-like superstructures consisting of single-crystal petals were synthesized for the first time by a simple hydrothermal method. After calcination, those boehmite structures can be transformed into single-crystal gamma-alumina nan...
