Abstract

Helium ions of 2 MeV energy and electrons of 5 to 30 keV energy have been used to irradiate a variety of thin (10–330 nm) metal films after deposition on semiconductor and insulator substrates. Dose thresholds for increased adhesion were found following irradiation with either type of particle. It is argued that the stronger bonding arises from an electronic, rather than a collisional, process. Representative results are presented and discussed within the framework of a recent model for heavy ion-induced effects.
