Gold Thin Film

Gold thin film metallizations in microelectronic circuits have a distinct advantage over those consisting of aluminum because they are less susceptible to electromigration. When electromigration is no longer the principal failure mechanism, other failure mechanisms caused by d.c. stressing might become important. In gold thin-film metallizations, grain boundary grooving is the principal failure mechanism.Previous studies have shown that grain boundary grooving in gold films can be prevented by an indium underlay between the substrate and gold. The beneficial effect of the In/Au composite film is mainly due to roughening of the surface of the gold films, redistribution of indium on the gold films and formation of In2O3 on the free surface and along the grain boundaries of the gold films during air annealing.

The Waves

Two air entrainment mechanisms driven by vortex instability are reported in the unstable relaxation of a horizontal shear layer below a free surface. This flow is experimentally investigated by means of planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) and particle image velocimetry (PIV) coupled with surface profilometry. PLIF identifies counter-rotating vortex pairs (CRVP) emanating from the surface following the growth of high steepness two-dimensional millimetre-size waves for Reynolds and Weber numbers based on the momentum thickness of 177 to 222 and 7.59 to 13.9, respectively. High spatio-temporal resolution PIV reveals the role of surface-generated vorticity and flow separation in the highly curved trough of the waves on the injection of a CRVP. Air bubbles are entrapped in the wake of these CRVPs at Reynolds number above 190. PIV data and spanwise PLIF images show two initiation mechanisms: primary vortex instability modulating the spanwise location where the flow separates, resulting in the pinch off of an air ligament, and secondary vortex instability turning a CRVP into$\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}$-shaped loops pulling the surface down. Instability wavelengths agree with linear stability analysis, and models for these new air entrainment mechanisms are proposed.

Abstract A study was performed to investigate the transfer of organic compounds and water from an aqueous solution to the gas phase under the action of a direct current discharge, in which an aqueous solution that contains organic compounds plays the role of a cathode. The effect of the area of the free surface of a liquid in various reactors, as well as the effect of the stirring mode of a solution near the surface of a liquid on the rate of transfer of water and organic compounds under the action of a discharge of this type, have been investigated. It is shown that a change in the area of the free surface of a liquid has no significant effect on the rate of transfer of water and organic compounds from solution to the gas phase under the action of a direct current discharge with a liquid cathode. It is shown that the stirring mode and the temperature of the solution, on the contrary, have a very significant effect on the rate of nonequilibrium transfer of both water and organic compounds from solution to the gas phase under the action of a discharge with a liquid cathode.
