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.

Heating From Below

Abstract A novel type of Marangoni convection was predicted theoretically a decade ago. The thin liquid film atop a substrate of low thermal conductivity was considered. In the case of heating from below, the Marangoni convection emerges not only in a conventional stationary regime, but also as oscillatory flows. Specifically, the oscillatory Marangoni convection emerges if (1) the heat flux from the free surface is small, and (2) the large-scale deformation of the free surface is allowed. During the past decade, this novel Marangoni convection was detected and investigated in several other theoretical works. The review discusses the recent achievements in studying the oscillatory Marangoni convection in a thin film heated from below. The guiding data for observation of the oscillatory regime are also provided.
