First Stages of the Platinum Electroless Deposition on Silicon (100) from Hf Solutions.
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
Electroless metal deposition based upon the addition of fluoride anions to the metal salt aqueous solution have been developed recently on the assumption that the cleanness of the substrate will be guaranteed and the deposit will be of high purity. In this work, platinum is deposited on silicon (100) from fluorinated solution at two different pH's. The influence of pH is analyzed using Tapping Mode Atomic Force Microscopy (TMAFM) to characterize the main morphological properties of the deposit. Combined TMAFM and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) images are presented and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) allows us to identify the chemical nature of the silicon surface.
