The Relationship

ABSTRACTShape evolution of rod-shaped precipitates due to surface diffusion has been studied under the conditions of constant volume and isotropie interfacial free energy. The shape evolution depends strongly on both the initial aspect ratio and the grain boundary groove angle. For a finite rod with one grain boundary, the morphology evolves into an equilibrium shape made of spherical portions if its aspect ratio and the groove angle are small. Increase in the aspect ratio causes a boundary splitting. For an infinite rod with periodic boundaries, three types of morphological evolutions are observed. When the relationship between the aspect ratio and the groove angle satisfies a certain critical condition, the shape evolves into an equilibrium. If the relationship deviates significantly from this condition, an ovulation process takes place at each location of the internal grain boundaries. When the deviation is intermediate, the morphology undergoes an oscillation in a quasi-dynamic state between the process toward an equilibrium shape and the ovulation process. The ovulation process due to internal grain boundaries is found to precede the Rayleigh spheroidization process.

ABSTRACTThe free energy γAgNi associated with an interface between layers of silver and nickel has been experimentally determined. Creep tests were conducted on multilayer thin films to determine the load at which the length of the film neither shrank nor stretched. The interfacial free energy was obtained from this zero creep load and microstructural data using a specific model for the grain boundary diffusional creep in multilayers.

Crystallographic Orientations

A specialized high-precision thermal gradient furnace with a rotating stage was developed for in situ observation of the equilibrated grain boundary groove shapes at multiple crystallographic orientations in transparent materials. Anisotropies of solid–liquid interfacial free energy for the distillated succinonitrile (SCN) and pivalic acid (PVA) are determined experimentally through direct observation of the equilibrated grain boundary grooves at the multiple crystallographic orientations stabilized within a controlled thermal gradient. The average anisotropies of solid–liquid interfacial energy for distillated SCN and PVA are found to be 0.42 and 3.12% from observed grain boundary groove shapes at multiple crystallographic orientations. Details related to the experimental apparatus and experimental procedures are given.

AbstractVarious theories have been developed to describe the diffusion-controlled growth of precipitates with shapes approximating needles or plates. The most comprehensive one is due to Ivantsov, Horvay and Cahn, and Trivedi (HIT theory), where all the factors that may influence the precipitate growth, i.e. diffusion, interface kinetics and capillarity, are accounted for within one equation. However, HIT theory was developed based on assumptions that transformation strain/stress and interfacial free energy are isotropic, which are not true in most of the real systems. An improved growth theory of precipitates of needle and plate shapes was developed in the present study. A new concept, the compression ratio, was introduced to account for influences from the anisotropy of transformation strain/stress and interfacial free energy on the precipitate morphology. Experimental evidence supports such compression effect. Precipitate growth kinetics were quantified using this concept. The improved HIT theory (IHIT theory) was then applied to study the growth of Widmanstatten austenite in ferrite in Fe-C-Mn steels. The calculated results agree well with the experimental observations.

Drying Technology

Damage-free drying becomes increasingly difficult with the scaling of semiconductor devices. In this work, we studied a new sublimation drying technology for 3nm node and beyond. In order to investigate the collapse factor by conventional sublimation drying, we observed the pattern with cryo-SEM and revealed that the collapse occurred when the liquid film on the substrate solidified. Based on this result, we considered that it was important to deposit a solidified film uniformly from the substrate side to suppress collapse. Two key process parameters were evaluated to achieve the uniform formation of the solidified film. One is interfacial free energy and the other is film thickness of solution just before solidification. By optimizing two key parameters, it was successfully demonstrated to suppress pattern collapse of challenging devices. In this paper, we report on a new drying method: sublimation drying by LPD (Liquid-phase deposition).
