Fossil frustules of Ellerbeckia and Melosira were studied using laboratory-based nano X-ray tomography (nano-XCT), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Three-dimensional (3D) morphology characterization using nondestructive nano-XCT reveals the continuous connection of fultoportulae, tube processes and protrusions. The study confirms that Ellerbeckia is different from Melosira. Both genera reveal heavily silicified frustules with valve faces linking together and forming cylindrical chains. For this cylindrical architecture of both genera, valve face thickness, mantle wall thickness and copulae thickness change with the cylindrical diameter. Furthermore, EDS reveals that these fossil frustules contain Si and O only, with no other elements in the percentage concentration range. Nanopores with a diameter of approximately 15 nm were detected inside the biosilica of both genera using TEM. In situ micromechanical experiments with uniaxial loading were carried out within the nano-XCT on these fossil frustules to determine the maximal loading force under compression and to describe the fracture behavior. The fracture force of both genera is correlated to the dimension of the fossil frustules. The results from in situ mechanical tests show that the crack initiation starts either at very thin features or at linking structures of the frustules.

ABSTRACTIn order to better understand the mechanics of metallization structures having very fine features, we performed in-situ, temperature-dependent X-ray strain measurements on Al-Cu films patterned into gratings with linewidths of 0.2-0.8μm, with and without a dielectric covering In comparison with earlier work on coarser structures, we find larger strains and less hysteresis, indicating an increased yield stress. The stress in unpassivated lines is almost independent of the linewidth. The slope of the stress/temperature curves for passivated lines increases with decreasing linewidth, so that the compressive stress at 500°C reaches 900MPa for the narrowest lines. The tensile stress at RT is smaller for the narrower lines, suggesting that these lines may not stress-void as much as wider ones. The significance of these results for stress voiding and electromigration will be discussed.

Studies of the nature of a surface, either metallic or nonmetallic, in the past, have been limited to the instrumentation available for these measurements. In the past, optical microscopy, replica transmission electron microscopy, electron or X-ray diffraction and optical or X-ray spectroscopy have provided the means of surface characterization. Actually, some of these techniques are not purely surface; the depth of penetration may be a few thousands of an inch. Within the last five years, instrumentation has been made available which now makes it practical for use to study the outer few 100A of layers and characterize it completely from a chemical, physical, and crystallographic standpoint. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) provides a means of viewing the surface of a material in situ to magnifications as high as 250,000X.
