摘要: Au/Cu metallic films were deposited on p-Si(100) substrates with and without an Au upper layer by magnetron sputtering. The defect formation nanoscale interfacial evolution at the Cu/Si interfaces studied using Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) high resolution transmission microscopy (HRTEM). results showed that increase in defects heterointerfaces surface was induced effect of a direct current (DC) vacuum ultraviolet (UV) environment, which could provide more channels for removal atoms. directed migration atomic clusters caused DC, also aggravated defects' expansion led to Au-Cu intermetallic compounds (IMCs). In addition, voids formed interface between Si found be mainly related generation material Au2Cu3.
