Morphology, Structure and Mechanical Properties of Copper Coatings Electrodeposited by Pulsating Current (PC) Regime on Si(111)

Abstract: Copper electrodeposition on (111)-oriented Si substrate was performed by the pulsating current (PC) regime at various average current densities in the range of 15-70 mA·cm −2 , obtained by varying either the frequency (30, 50, 80 and 100 Hz for the current density amplitude of 100 mA·cm −2 ) or the current density amplitude (120 and 140 mA·cm −2 at 100 Hz). The produced Cu coatings were examined by SEM, AFM and XRD techniques. The morphology of the coatings changed from those with large grains to fine-grained … Show more

“…During hardness analysis of the Cu coatings electrodeposited by the PC regime on Si(111), the calculated values of the coating hardness by the C-L model were multiple times larger than the composite hardness at the applied low indentation loads [21]. The similar situation was also observed during the hardness analysis of Cu coatings of various thicknesses electrodeposited by the same regime on the brass substrate [22].…”

“…All electrodepositions were performed in an open cell of cylindrical shape with an electrolyte temperature of 22.0 ± 0.50 • C. Two types of cathodes were used: Si(111), and brass (260 1/2 hard, ASTM B36, K&S Engineering). The preparation of Si(111) and brass cathodes for copper electrodeposition is described in previously published papers [21,22]. The cathodes of (1.0 × 1.0) cm 2 surface area were positioned in the center of the cell.…”
