Chemical-Mechanical polishing of parylene- n films: evaluation by X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy

The surface quality of parylene-N(PA-N) films, as determined by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), after chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP), is influenced mostly by two factors: quality of the as-deposited film and the slurry composition. The higher the quality of the as-deposited film (more specifically, less oxygen content), the higher the quality of the polished film. The XPS and AFM results show that PA-N film polished in 1% A1₂O₃ abrasive (0.3 Μm particles), NH₄OH (2% by volume), and water, has better quality compared to the other slurries investigated. With high quality PA-N films, the film surface quality affected by CMP is relatively independent of polishing time, indicating that changes in surface chemistry occur in the initial seconds of polishing.

Application of atomic force microscopy to detect edge of mask contaminations that may hinder titanium silicide formation

An atomic force microscope (AFM) was used to study anomalies in the titanium disilicide formation of narrow (0.26 μm) poly lines at the edge of n+ and p+ implant masks; a special test structure was designed both for morphological and electrical evaluations. On poly lines along the borders of the n+ mask, before titanium deposition, the AFM was able to detect some material build-up exactly on the locations where the silicide is severely reduced in thickness or interrupted, as inferred by electrical data and SEM analysis on finished samples. A carbon (or nitrogen) atom knock-on during the arsenic implant was invoked to explain the observed local hindering of the silicide formation.

Nanofabrication of a quantum dot array: Atomic force microscopy of electropolished aluminum

One step required for the fabrication of a quantum dot array on an aluminum substrate is the preparation of a flat aluminum surface. To enable the optimization of the electropolishing procedure, atomic force microscopy was used to examine the morphology of electropolished polycrystalline aluminum surfaces that were prepared under different electropolishing conditions. The electropolishing voltage, time, and temperature were varied. Two distinctly different surface morphologies were observed for different electropolishing conditions and transitional structures were observed for intermediate conditions. It was found that the type of surface morphology and the surface roughness could be controlled primarily with the electropolishing voltage while temperature and time had relatively little effect over the range examined in this study.

Nanomechanical characterization of polymer using atomic force microscopy and nanoindentation

The nanomechanical characteristics of polycarbonate (PC) polymer were investigated by atomic force microscope (AFM) and nanoindentation. Scratching, wear properties, hardness and Young's modulus were obtained. The relationships between scribing feed and speed, surface depth and roughness and applied load were also investigated. The results indicated that as the applied load was increased, the furrow depth and the surface roughness increased. When the scribing feed was increased, the depth and roughness decreased. Increasing the furrow speed also decreased the surface roughness. The applied load is more significant than the scribing speed on the material removal rate. In addition, the Young's modulus and hardness of the polycarbonate material were 1.8 and 0.2 GPa, respectively.

Mechanisms of nanooxidation of Si(100) from atomic force microscopy

The machining characteristics of the nanolithographic process were studied using atomic force microscopy. Nano-oxidation experiments were conducted to investigate the influence that the different experimental parameters had on height, width and the growth rate of the nanowires and nanodots as well as upon the machining efficiency. The experimental parameters included; the applied voltage, humidity, scanning oxidization time, crystalline orientation and the shape of the probe tip. The results indicated that as the oxidization time and the applied voltage were increased, the nanowire's height and width also increased. `Also, a nanowire with increased height was produced when the humidity was higher. Finally as the probe tip began to wear and the tip's radius increased, a nanowire with a higher height and width was produced.

Macro-scale atomic force microscope: An experimental platform for teaching precision mechatronics

A macro-scale atomic force microscope (macro-AFM) has been designed and used for teaching precision mechatronics. The macro-AFM uses a novel electromagnetic self-sensing self-actuating probe. It operates in frequency-modulation AFM (FM-AFM) mode with intermittent contact. The AFM has an imaging volume of 250 mm × 40 mm × 1 mm with a resolution of about 1 μm at 1 Hz measurement bandwidth. The macro-AFM is simple and relatively inexpensive to build. It is scaled to make motion visible to the eye and is robust for a lab environment, all of which make it an affordable and effective educational tool. The macro-AFM is used in Mechatronics (2.737), a graduate level course at MIT, where in a series of 11 laboratory exercises, the students assembled and programmed the AFM system. This article provides the design and theory used for making and controlling the macro-AFM, as well as experimental results.

Effect of Ar annealing temperature on SiO2/4H-SiC interface studied by spectroscopic ellipsometry and atomic force microscopy

The authors have investigated the effects of different annealing temperatures in Ar atmosphere on the SiO₂/4H-SiC interfaces by spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). There is a strong correlation between the annealing temperatures and the quality of SiO₂/4H-SiC interface. Annealing at 600 °C can significantly improve the quality of SiO₂/4H-SiC interface with no transition layer. The reasons for such improvement in the quality of the SiO₂/4H-SiC interface after moderate temperature annealing at 600 °C may be explained by the formation and consumption of carbon clusters and silicon oxycarbides during annealing.
