In this study, we produced Au-Sn alloy electroplated from a single solution and optimized the composition. The composition of electroplated Au-Sn alloy was Au-31.02 at.% Sn at the condition of 6 ms on -4 ms off pulse current, 50 and 10 mA/cm 2 . Results in XRD analysis showed that Au-Sn alloy electroplated at DC 10 mA/cm 2 had AuSn phase (ξ′) only and Au 5 Sn phase (δ) appeared with decreasing the pulsed current on time. Also micropatterned Au-Sn solder bump was produced by photolithography. Though it's composition of at.% Sn was not optimum, we tried to bond between Au-Sn solder bump and Si wafer that was coated with Ti (100 nm)/Au (300 nm).
We have investigated the magnetic properties and the microstructures of Mn-Ir/Ni-Fe/(Ta, Cr)/Si exchange biased multilayers. The Mn-Ir/Ni-Fe on a Ta buffer layer exhibited a higher exchange biased field than the Mn-Ir/Ni-Fe on a Cr buffer layer. On the other hand, the Mn-Ir/Ni-Fe on a Cr buffer layer exhibited a higher blocking temperature and was composed of larger grains than Mn-Ir/Ni-Fe on a Ta buffer layer. Both samples had an epitaxial relationship at the interface between the Mn-Ir layer and the Ni-Fe layer due to the generation of misfit dislocation.
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.
