Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents results of a successful four year effort funded by the Air Force to develop a measurement system for the study of optical-thin-film thermal transport properties. Data are presented on several coated samples. Characteristic features of the data are interpreted in terms of behavior expected on the basis of solutions of the heat diffusion equation. Comparisons are made between observed coating data and model predictions based on handbook data on coating materials in bulk format. These comparisons show close agreement for measurable properties in the special cases studied. The data are found to be free of unexpected structure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This up-to-date handbook covers the main topics of preparation, characterization and properties of complex metal-based layer systems. The authors -- an outstanding group of researchers -- discuss advanced methods for structure, chemical and electronic state characterization with reference to the properties of thin functional layers, such as metallization and barrier layers for microelectronics, magnetoresistive layers for GMR and TMR, sensor and resistance layers. As such, the book addresses materials specialists in industry, especially in microelectronics, as well as scientists, and can also be recommended for advanced studies in materials science, analytics, surface and solid state science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The explosive growth in the semiconductor industry has caused a rapid evolution of thin film materials that lend themselves to the fabrication of state-of-the-art semiconductor devices. Early in the 1960s an old research technique named chemical vapour phase deposition (CVD), which has several unique advantages, developed into the most widely used technique for thin film preparation in electronics technology. In the last 25 years, tremendous advances have been made in the science and technology of thin films prepared by means of CVD.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Treatise on Materials Science and Technology, Volume 24: Preparation and Properties of Thin Films covers the progress made in the preparation of thin films and the corresponding study of their properties. The book discusses the preparation and property correlations in thin film; the variation of microstructure of thin films; and the molecular beam epitaxy of superlattices in thin film. The text also describes the epitaxial growth of silicon structures (thermal-, laser-, and electron-beam-induced); the characterization of grain boundaries in bicrystalline thin films; and the mechanical properties of thin films on substrates. The ion beam modification of thin film; the use of thin alloy films for metallization in microelectronic devices; and the fabrication and physical properties of ultrasmall structures are also encompassed. Materials scientists and materials engineers will find the book invaluable.

This book was released on 1970 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effect of small variations in the measured values of reflectance and transmittance on the optical constants was studied for several cases. The optical constants were determined by the measurement of reflectivity and transmissivity as a function of wavelength, and by measuring the thickness. The previously calculated curves relating these parameters were then used. The primary emphasis in this report lies in an attempt to assess the limits of validity in the use of this method of determining optical constants. To this end, some measurements were also made on chromium films. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objectives of our research program have been to carry out a systematic experimental and theoretical study of the thermal and transport properties of granular metal films. This work has involved the preparation of a number of different granular metal systems by RF sputter deposition, characterization of these materials by x-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), the study of thermal properties by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements, and the study of the electrical transport behavior from room temperature to below 100 mK and, at low temperatures, in applied magnetic fields up to about 6 T. Using a variety of complementary analytical and numerical techniques, detailed theoretical studies have also been carried out on the structure, melting, transport, and optical properties of small granular particles.
