Abstract:We carried out cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy to investigate the diffusion at the Ni/SiC interface enhanced by femtosecond-laser-induced modifications. The surface of a 4H-SiC crystal was irradiated with femtosecond laser pulses along lines, and a Ni film was then deposited. A thin modified layer was introduced by densely irradiating the SiC surface with line spacing close to the laser-beam diameter. After annealing, a layered structure was formed at the Ni/SiC interface, composed of a C laye… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
