Whereas the traditional dimethyl siloxane fluids provide very poor lubrication for steel on steel and other common metals, thin films on glass reduce handling damage, small amounts in plastic composites bleed to the surface for self-lubrication, and they provide a superior lubricant for mbber surfaces.

Metallic thin-film media almost always are composed of Co alloys. Cobalt is chosen because of its high moment, but pure Co (either plated or vacuum-deposited) has a...

These studies indicate that the charge transfer at the metal-oxide interface alters the electronic structure of the metal thin film, which in turn affects the adsorption of molecules to these surfaces. Understanding the effect that an oxide support has on molecular adsorption can give insight into how local environmental factors control the reactivity at the metal surface, presenting new avenues for tuning the properties of metal thin films and nanoparticles. Coupled with the knowledge of how particle size and shape modify the metal s electronic properties, these results can be used to predict how local structure and environment influence the reactivity at the metal surface.

The required degree of understanding of the physical properties of metal thin films used for interconnects on chips is illustrated by the following example. It was found that the performance of conductors on chips, A1 or Cu, depends on the structure of the conductor metal. For example, Vaidya and Sinha (10) reported that the measured median time to failure (MTF) of Al-0.5% Cu thin films is a function of three microstructural variables (attributes) median grain size, statistical variance (cr ) of the grain size distribution, and degree of [111] fiber texture in the film.

Figs. 11.5 and 11.6 show eight XRD patterns as measured along row C. In Fig. 11.5, the dominant (111) diffraction peak for 100% Pt appears at around 20=40°, as expected. The absence of diffraction peaks of pure Pt or Fe in the multi-metal XRD patterns is indicative of complete alloying of the multi-metal thin films by interlayer diffusion. 

Fig. 12. A resistive metal thin film heater is formed on the upper glass. Using the liquid-gas phase system of methyl chloride, the generated pressure is increased and the response time reduced. The dynamic range of this type of valve can be broad by adjusting cavity shape, quantity of gas and liquid molecules.
