Solid state materials in the form of thin films have found increasing structural and electronic applications. Among the multitude of thin film deposition techniques, the radio frequency induced plasma sputtering has gained considerable utilization in recent years through advances in equipment design and process improvement, as well as the discovery of the versatility of the process to control film properties. In our laboratory we have used the scanning electron microscope extensively in the direct and indirect characterization of sputtered films for correlation with their physical and electrical properties.Scanning electron microscopy is a powerful tool for the examination of surfaces of solids and for the failure analysis of structural components and microelectronic devices.

The purpose of this paper is to study the morphological characterization of aluminum interdigitated electrodes (IDE) of different gap sizes on silicon substrate. The electrodes were fabricated using standard photolithography process and were done so with sizes of 12 μm, 10 μm and 7 μm. The electrodes were morphologically characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and high-powered microscope (HPM).Keywords: morphological, interdigitated electrodes, aluminum
