Abstract:
During the last decade some progress have been made in the field of sensors using thin film techniques. In particular thin metal film strain gauges and thin film temperature sensors based on the temperature dependent resistivity of metal are now commonly used. But changes in other transport parameters with various measurands are also useful for the design of metal film sensors. Difficulty arises in thin film techniques when structural defects are frozen in films.Intensive theoretical investigations are carried out to explain the effect of grain-boundary and external surface scatterings on tran

AbstractThis article describes the current level of understanding of dislocation plasticity in thin films and small structures in which the film or structure dimension plays an important role. Experimental observations of the deformation behavior of thin films, including mechanical testing as well as electron microscopy studies, will be discussed in light of theoretical models and dislocation simulations. In particular, the potential of applying strain-gradient plasticity theory to thin-film deformation is discussed. Although the results of all studies presented follow a “smaller is stronger”

In the world of nanomaterials and meta-materials, thin films are used which are an order of magnitude thinner than historically used in optical thin film coatings. A problem stems from the island structure that is seen as the film nucleates and grows until there is coalescence or percolation of the islands into a nearly continuous film. The application problem is that the indices of refraction, n and k, vary with thickness from zero thickness up to some thickness such as 30 or 40 nanometers for silver. This behavior will be different from material to material and deposition process to depositi

AbstractThin film technology has become an integral part of semiconductor multichip ceramic packages. Characterizing the thickness of multimetal multilayer thin film structures that combine both thin and thick films is an important parameter for manufacturing process control and development. Accuracies in the range of 3-5% and precisions of 1.3% were attained on multilayer metal films ranging from a few hundred angstroms to tens of thousands of angstroms.

Atomic force microscope (AFM) is a useful tool to capture the two- and three-dimensional image of height and size of nanostructured thin film. It operate by measuring the forces between a sharp tip and surface of the measured sample. In addition, AFM is equipped with powerful software for image processing to interpret experimental results in detail. For example, by using the height and scanning length parameters of measured sample, average roughness and root mean square roughness can be evaluated. In the present works, the effect of image flattening process toward the surface roughness and sur

Abstract:
Metal nanostructures are, nowadays, extensively used in applications such as catalysis, electronics, sensing, optoelectronics and others. These applications require the possibility to design and fabricate metal nanostructures directly on functional substrates, with specifically controlled shapes, sizes, structures and reduced costs. A promising route towards the controlled fabrication of surface-supported metal nanostructures is the processing of substrate-deposited thin metal films by fast and ultrafast pulsed lasers. In fact, the processes occurring for laser-irradiated metal films (melting,

Copper zinc tin sulfide (CZTS) is an emerging thin film photovoltaic material. Chemical composition and phase purity are important factors which decide the quality of the film for photovoltaic applications. In the present work, we report the results of the morphological, structural, optical, and electrical characterizations of Cu2ZnSnS4thin films, synthesized by sulfurizing magnetron cosputtered Cu2ZnSn thin films in ambient H2S. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on CZT deposition by cosputtering from Cu, Zn, and Sn targets and sulfurizing it in ambient H2S for making CZTS

Enhancing the mechanical reliability of metal interconnects is important for achieving highly reliable flexible/wearable electronic devices. In this study, Ag nanowire and Cu thin-film hybrid interconnects were explored as a novel concept to enhance mechanical reliability under bending fatigue. Bending fatigue tests were conducted on the Cu thin films and Cu/Ag nanowire/polyimide (CAP) interconnects. The increase in resistance was larger for the Cu thin films than for the CAP. The single-component Cu electrodes showed multiple crack initiation and propagation due to bending strain, which degra

Abstract:
The role of ozone in the reactive coevaporation of the lead zirconate titanate thin film was investigated by depositing films at various growth rates with various ozone fluxes or molecular oxygen fluxes on unheated substrates and then crystallizing them using rapid thermal annealing. The oxidation state of lead in the as-deposited film was determined from the ratio of the ozone to the total metal fluxes. The amount of atomic oxygen supplied to the surface of the film was at least 103 times larger when the deposition was done using ozone rather than molecular oxygen. When the ozone flux was mor

A novel fabrication process is proposed for manufacturing thin-film metal Fresnel lenses for X-ray applications. This process combines diamond turning technology and photolithographic processes. To prevent thin-film lens substrates from deflection during diamond turning, films were prepared on single crystalline silicon wafers by electrolytic plating. After the Fresnel lens structure is generated on the metal thin films by diamond turning, the silicon substrate was then removed selectively by reactive ion etching. Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed hybrid fabrication process a

Abstract:
A new surface science approach to the study of supported-metal catalysts will be described. Thin oxide films (~100 Å) of SiO2, Al2O3, or MgO supported on a refractory metal substrate (e.g., Mo or W) have been prepared by depositing the oxide metal precursor in a background of oxygen (ca. l×l0-5 Torr) [1]. The thin-film catalysts facilitate investigation by an array of surface techniques, many of which are precluded when applied to the corresponding bulk oxide [1,2]. In particular, the oxide films have been characterized by AES, ELS, HREELS, XPS, UPS, ISS, IRAS, and TD spectroscopies and shown
