Synthesis, Characterization and Wettability of Cu-Sn Alloy on the Si-Implanted 6H-SiC

Abstract

The wettability of the metal/SiC system is not always excellent, resulting in the limitation of the widespread use of SiC ceramic. In this paper, three implantation doses of Si ions (5 × 1015, 1 × 1016, 5 × 1016 ions/cm2) were implanted into the 6H-SiC substrate. The wetting of Cu-(2.5, 5, 7.5, 10) Sn alloys on the pristine and Si-SiC were studied by the sessile drop technique, and the interfacial chemical reaction of Cu-Sn/SiC wetting couples was investigated and discussed. The Si ion can markedly enhance the wetting of Cu-Sn on 6H-SiC substrate, and those of the corresponding contact angles (θ) are raised partly, with the Si ion dose increasing due to the weakening interfacial chemical reactions among four Cu-Sn alloys and 6H-SiC ceramics. Moreover, the θ of Cu-Sn on (Si-)SiC substrate is first decreased and then increased from ~62° to ~39°, and ~70° and ~140°, with the Sn concentration increasing from 2.5%, 5% and 7.5% to 10%, which is linked to the reactivity of Cu-Sn alloys and SiC ceramic and the variation of liquid-vapor surface energy. Particularly, only a continuous graphite layer is formed at the interface of the Cu-10Sn/Si-SiC system, resulting in a higher contact angle (>40°).

RETRACTED: Synthesis, Characterization and Photodegradation Studies of Copper Oxide–Graphene Nanocomposites

“…Due to their special properties such as cost-effective fabrication procedure, good chemical stability, eco-friendliness, high theoretical specific capacity, and abundant availability, transition metal oxides (TMOs) including Fe 2 O 3 , Co 3 O 4 , NiO and CuO have at-tracted considerable attention for use in various applications, including solar cells, photocatalysts, electrode materials, and gas sensors [11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. However, TMOs have some drawbacks such as low conductivity, pulverization, and aggregation caused by large volume expansion [18][19][20].…”

“…Recently, different environmental pollutants such as toxic dyes have been identified as threats because these dyes are harmful for humans and aquatic life [1,2]. Discharge of these dyes containing effluents in the environment causes the natural ecosystem to become unbalanced [3].…”

A Critical Review on the Synthesis of Natural Sodium Alginate Based Composite Materials: An Innovative Biological Polymer for Biomedical Delivery Applications

“…This novel polysaccharide has potential applications in all aspects of food, drug delivery [23], gene delivery, tissue engineering [24], and wound dressing [25][26][27] and for wastewater treatment [28]. Na-Alg has novel applications in the field of drug delivery; for instance, it has been used for the delivery of 5 FU [29], Cur [30], anticancer agents (microcapsules) [31], ibuprofen [32], and RIF. The drug delivery technology of sodium alginate plays a key role in the field of biotechnology.…”
