Abstract

Copper films were grown on a single crystal diamond substrate using an iron seed layer. The effect of the crystalline structure of the iron seed on the Cu films was studied with extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The EXAFS study shows that the 10 Å Fe seed layer is in an fee structure, and has collapsed into a bec structure by the time 20 Å of Fe has been deposited. In the SEM pictures it is observed that subsequent layers of Cu grow as continuous films for thin fcc-Fe seeds, and grow in an island mode for the thick, bcc-Fe seeds.
