The growth of intermetallic phases in Al/Cu bilayers thin film having 2/3 layer thickness ratios were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In annealing temperature of 200 °C, the growth is controlled by Cu diffusion which resulted to formation of θ-Al2Cu, η-AlCu, ζ-Al3Cu4 and γ-Al4Cu9 phase.

Thin film magnetic media are being used as low cost, high density forms of information storage. The development of this technology requires the study, at the sub-micron level, of morphological, crystallographic, and magnetic properties, throughout the depth of the deposited films. As the microstructure becomes increasingly fine, widi grain sizes approaching 100Å, the unique characterization capabilities of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) have become indispensable to the analysis of such thin film magnetic media.Films were deposited at 225°C, on two NiP plated Al substrates, one polished, and one circumferentially textured with a mean roughness of 55Å. Three layers, a 750Å chromium underlayer, a 600Å layer of magnetic alloy of composition Co84Cr14Ta2, and a 300Å amorphous carbon overcoat were then sputter deposited using a dc magnetron system at a power of 1kW, in a chamber evacuated below 10-6 torr and filled to 12μm Ar pressure. The textured medium is presently used in industry owing to its high coercivity, Hc, and relatively low noise. One important feature is that the coercivity in the circumferential read/write direction is significandy higher than that in the radial direction.

AbstractThe objective of this work is to find a material to replace amorphous hydrogenated silicon used as photosensitive part in the “retina” of an “electronic eye”. For that reason, ZnS, ZnSe, CdS and CdSe were chosen for investigations. Thin films, prepared by chemical vapour deposition, were characterized by transmission electron microscopy. The observed microstructures were correlated with the optoelectronic properties of these materials. CdSe was found to be the most promising material for our application. Hence, the influence of a dielectric interlayer and the effects of additional annealing treatments were analyzed for CdSe and will be discussed with respect to the optimization of the material.
