Generally, processing of thin films involves several annealing steps in addition to the deposition step. During the annealing steps, diffusion, transformations and reactions take place. In this paper, examples of the use of TEM and AEM for ex situ and in situ studies of reactions and phase transformations in thin films will be presented.The ex situ studies were carried out on Nb/Al multilayer thin films annealed to different stages of reaction. Figure 1 shows a multilayer with dNb = 383 and dAl = 117 nm annealed at 750°C for 4 hours. As can be seen in the micrograph, there are four phases, Nb/Nb3-xAl/Nb2-xAl/NbAl3, present in the film at this stage of the reaction. The composition of each of the four regions marked 1-4 was obtained by EDX analysis. The absolute concentration in each region could not be determined due to the lack of thickness and geometry parameters that were required to make the necessary absorption and fluorescence corrections.

Molecular interaction between zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) thin films and various oxidizing gas molecules was examined by measuring sensor response of chemiresistor structures. The different response types can be obtained from the interactions to gas molecules of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2) and carbon monoxide (CO). For NO2 interaction, the response current of thermal evaporated ZnPc thin film with metal inter-digitaged pattern electrodes was proportionally increase to the concentration of NO2 gas. For measurement cycle, the NO2 gas at desired concentration was flowed into the measuring chamber for 20 minutes then the nitrogen gas was flowed for 20 minutes to recovering the interaction. The current response exhibited the step up and down during this measuring cycle and the heights of response step were proportional to the NO2 concentration. For SO2 measuring cycle, the response step increased at the beginning cycle then the response of ZnPc thin film seemed to be saturate and remained the same response step height even increasing the SO2 concentration. It was found that if the SO2 concentration was maintained at the same value for each measuring period, the response current was increase for the first few cycles after that the response step height decreased and became almost constant at lower value after passing more than ten measuring cycles. However this phenomenon can recover if the ZnPc surface was leaved in air for a few days. Therefore the interaction between ZnPc and SO2 molecules can modify the ZnPc surface and change the gas response. With the same measurement setup, it cannot found any significant change in the response current of the ZnPc film under the CO gas exposure up to concentration of 250 ppm. This result indicated that no interaction between ZnPc and CO molecules can be observed and these different responses on various gas molecules can demonstrate the selectivity of using ZnPc as a gas sensor.
