AbstractThe formation and growth of Cu6Sn5 and Cu3Sn at the interface of Sn-Pb solder/copper substrate are factors which affect the solderability and reliability of electronic solder joints. The addition of particles such as Ni to eutectic Sn-Pb solder drastically affects the activation energies of formation for both intermetallics. This study was performed to understand the mechanisms of intermetallic formation and the effects of Ni on intermetallic growth. Cu/Sn and Cu/Sn/Ni thin films were deposited by evaporation and observed in the TEM in real time using a hot stage. The diffusion of Sn through Cu6Sn5 and Cu3Sn followed by reaction with Cu must occur for intermetallic formation and growth to take place. Ni is an effective diffusion barrier which prevents Sn from diffusing into Cu.

VO2 and V2O3 thin films were prepared during in situ XRD investigation by oxidation and reduction of V and V2O5. Films show up to 5 orders of magnitude resistance switching.

A unique in situ nanoindentation stage has been built and developed at the National Center for Electron Microscopy in Berkeley, CA. By using piezoceramic actuators to finely position a 3-sided, boron-doped diamond indenter, we are able to image in real time the nanoindentation induced deformation of thin films. Recent work has included the force-calibration of the indenter, using silicon cantilevers to establish a relationship between the voltage applied to the piezoactuators, the displacement of the diamond tip, and the force generated.In this work, we present real time, in situ TEM observations of the plastic deformation of Al thin films grown on top of lithographically-prepared silicon substrates. The in situ nanoindentations require a unique sample geometry (see Figure 1) in which the indenter approaches the specimen normal to the electron beam. in order to meet this requirement, special wedge-shaped silicon samples were designed and microfabricated so that the tip of the wedge is sharp enough to be electron transparent.

In this paper, we demonstrated that the gradual formation of a surface relief grating (SRG) in azopolymer thin films under continuous light exposure could be directly observed in situ and in real-time, allowing full-field characterization.
