Abstract:Both atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging and stress measurements were carried out in situ during potentiostatic electrodeposition of copper on gold in 0.05 mol dm-3 CuSO4 in 0.1 mol dm-3 H2SO4 with and without chloride ion (Cl-) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) additives. Our in-situ stress measurement technique allowed us to develop an accurate and reliable method of determining local stress in newly deposited copper films. Stress increases in the tensile direction with thickness and eventually reaches a plate… Show more
