Aerosol-Assisted Chemical Vapor Deposition (AACVD) of Binary Alloy Films: Studies of Film Composition
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
The chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of Cu-Ag and Cu-Pd alloys using aerosol precursor delivery over a range of preheating temperatures, 70∼80 °C and substrate temperatures, 250∼300 °C is described. The precursors used include Cu(hfac)2, (hfac)Ag(Set2) and Pd(hfac)2 dissolved in toluene and 10% H2 in Ar as carrier gas. The films were characterized by SEM, EDS and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The X-ray diffraction results showed the Cu/Ag films were composed of α-and β-phases of Cu-Ag alloys, the Cu/Pd films were Cu-Pd alloy, solid solutions, under these conditions. Compositional variation studies in Cu-Pd and Pd-Ag alloy systems were also conducted by mixing Cu(hfac)2/Pd(hfac)2 and (hfac)Ag(SEt2)/Pd(hfac)2 in toluene solution in different ratios. The films were characterized by X-ray diffraction and the results showed the composition of films was affected by the solution stoichiometry.
