Understanding the Preferred Crystal Orientation of Sputtered Silver in Ar/N2 Atmosphere: A Microstructure Investigation
Silver thin films were prepared by direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering technique in Ar/N2 atmosphere with various N2 volumetric ratios on Si substrates. Silver thin films prepared in pure Ar atmosphere show highly (111) preferred orientation. However, as the N2 content increases, Ag (111) prefe...
