  • ultrastable and atomically smooth ultrathin silver films grown on a copper Seed Layer
    ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2013
    Co-Authors: Nadia Formica, Albert Carrilero, Robert E Simpson, Dhriti Sundar Ghosh, Tong Lai Chen, Valerio Pruneri
    Abstract:

    An effective method to deposit atomically smooth ultrathin silver (Ag) films by employing a 1 nm copper (Cu) Seed Layer is reported. The inclusion of the Cu Seed Layer leads to the deposition of films with extremely low surface roughness (<0.5 nm), while it also reduces the minimum thickness required to obtain a continuous Ag film (percolation thickness) to 3 nm compared to 6 nm without the Seed Layer. Moreover, the Cu Seed Layer alters the growth mechanism of the Ag film by providing energetically favorable nucleation sites for the incoming Ag atoms leading to an improved surface morphology and concomitant lower electrical sheet resistance. Optical measurements together with X-ray diffraction and electrical resistivity measurements confirmed that the Ag film undergoes a Layer-by-Layer growth mode resulting in a smaller grain size. The Cu Seeded Ag growth method provides a feasible way to deposit ultrathin Ag films for nanoscale electronic, plasmonic and photonic applications. In addition, as a result of ...

In addition, as a result of the improved uniformity, the oxidation of the Ag Layer is strongly reduced to negligible values.
