Annealing Effects on the Structural Properties of Gold Films on Si by the RF Magnetron Sputtering

Article Preview

Abstract:

We have investigated the effect of annealing temperature on the structural property of Au thin films deposited on Si(100) substrate using the radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering technique. X-ray diffraction revealed that the relative intensities and FWHM of (111), (200), and (311) peaks increased and decreased, respectively, after thermal annealing at 600°C. Scanning electron microscopy indicated that after annealing at 600-700°C, Au structures agglomerated on Si(100) surfaces. Energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry (EDX) revealed that the agglomerated structure was composed of pure Au.
