Abstract

We have succeeded in the synthesis of strong Cu(111) textured films by means of the novel ion plating method(URT-IP). This URT-IP method combines the Cu deposition with the surface cleaning (self-cleaning). In the Cu film synthesis, the cations play a main role: the self-cleaning of underlying Cu seed and TaN barrier surfaces at the first stage of Cu deposition and the promotion of (111) texture. The two growth processes dependent on underlying materials cause the strong (111) orientation; the epitaxial growth on the same (111) oriented underlayer and the promotion of thermodynamically stable (111) texture on the amorphous underlayer. The in-situ Ar+ cleaning of underlayer surfaces by the URT-IP improves the (11) orientation to be much stronger. The URT-IP method is applied also to the synthesis of strong Pt(111) textured films with the same fcc system.
