Title: Evolution of nano-structures of silver due to rapid thermal annealing

Journal Article · · AIP Conference Proceedings
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4872832· OSTI ID:22269211

This report deals with rapid thermal annealing (RTA) effect on continuous silver film on Si(100) substrate. For this purpose silver films of different thicknesses were deposited and subsequently annealed at 500 and 800 °C. The as-deposited and annealed samples were investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Formations of different nano-structures have been observed. Fragmentation of formed nanoislands also observed at temperature below melting temperature.
