Abstract:Substrate surface roughness effects on Ag film texture were investigated using pole figure analysis. X-ray diffraction results confirmed that Ag thin films on smooth SiO 2 substrates had strong {111} texture when compared with Ag films on polyethylene naphthalate (PEN). It was noted that the difference of strain energy density (∆E ε ) in Ag film on PEN (0.039 MPa) was almost 5 times greater than that on SiO 2 (0.0084 MPa). The comparison between surface and strain energies revealed that the {111} texture of Ag… Show more
