Defects of ultrathin Cu films on Mo(1 1 0) studied by thermal helium desorption spectrometry

Abstract: Defects of ultrathin Cu films (3-200 Å) deposited on Mo(1 1 0) at room temperature by e-beam evaporation in ultra-high vacuum are investigated using thermal helium desorption spectrometry. The samples are analysed with both 75 and 1000 eV He + implantation. Cu films transform into islands on annealing and the temperature of this transformation is strongly thickness dependent. Helium release from defects close to the surface of the Cu films (∼450 K), from monovacancies in as-deposited Cu film (50-200 Å), and fr… Show more

“…TDS spectroscopy is often used to study radiation induced damage as well as retention/release of gases like deuterium in the plasmafacing materials intended to be used in the controllable fussion devices including tungsten [2,3], beryllium [4][5][6] or graphite [7]. The technique was often employed in the case of materials widely applied in electronics, like silicon [8,9] for implanted metals [10][11][12] as well as thin films [13][14][15]. Special attempts were made to study formation of bubbles (gas filled cavities) as a result of highfluence (≈ 10 16 cm −2 and even more) inert gas ion implantation [8,[16][17][18][19].…”
