“…The surface density of catalytic sites r was seen to depend on the substrate material and type of activation, with a m a x i m u m value of 104/~ e. The importance of r as a deposition p a r a m e t e r was pointed out, and its influence on film growth and geometry was shown quantitatively. Evidence of island growth of different electroless metals (10)(11)(12) suggests that the present description of nucleation, growth, and geometry may also be applicable to other electroless films deposited on activated surfaces. The structure of as-deposited N i -P islands with variable size, as well as that of fresh continuous films, was determined to be liquidlike, and it was concluded that individual islands are not single crystals.…”

“…Other electroless films (Co-P and Ni-Fe-P) deposited on activated substrates exhibit island-type growth and agglomerated structure. Judge et al (10) found a "hemispherical clumpy growth" of electroless cobalt, and the surface of electroless nickel-iron films was reported by Schmeckenbecher (11) to consist of an "agglomeration of balls." Frieze and Weil (12) reported that nucleation of electroless Co-P films occurred on isolated Pd particles, followed by lateral growth to produce a continuous film.…”

The nucleation, early growth, and structure of Ni‐P on SnCl2‐PdCl2 activated dielectric substrates were studied. The SnCl2‐PdCl2 treatment was found to provide small catalytic sites on the substrate, serving as the nuclei for Ni‐P growth. The average diameter of catalytic sites was estimated to be less than 10Aå. The microscopic time rate of Ni‐P growth on the nuclei was found to be constant and the growth to be isotropic. The resulting Ni‐P deposit in the early stages of growth consists of circular islands. The surface density σ of islands were affected by activation. In later stages of growth, the circular Ni‐P islands merged to form a continuous film. The critical film thickness at which continuity is attained is shown to be a function of σ. The structure of as‐deposited islands, as well as that of fresh continuous film, was determined by electron diffraction to be liquidlike.

“…Alumina (A1203) ceramics have been predominantly used as substrate materials for high speed, high density circuits because of their high thermal conductivity. Recently aluminum nitride (A1N) substrates have drawn attention because of their high thermal conductivity-eight to ten times that of A~203 at room temperature (1)(2)(3)(4)(5).…”

“…Although the thermal conductivity of A1N could theoretically be as high as 320 W m 'K-' (3) it is greatly influenced by its density and chemical impurities (1)(2)(3)(4). NEC Corporation has developed A1N substrates with very high thermal conductivity using hot press sintering (1) and green sheet techniques (5) obtaining values of 160 and 180 W m-'K -~, respectively.…”

Co‐Ni‐P and Co‐P thin films have been electroless deposited on Al based Ni‐P plated substrates in the pH range 7.8–9.3. The effects of solution pH on nucleation, microstructure, and magnetic properties of these films were investigated by VSM, Auger, and electron microscopy techniques. The magnetic properties are dominated by the microstructure of these films. These two films, deposited at optimum pH, can be used for high density magnetic information storage media.
