Thank you very much!sabi

I thought of interdiffusion and building up of an intermetallic transition Zone (TiAu2, TiAu,...). But this happens properly only at higher temperatures ? Could you give me a reference for metallic bonding as the adhesion mechanism in the Ti-Au-System ? Thanks a lot. Best regards

Hi all, I sputtered titanium (10 nm) - gold (~ 100 nm) films at room temperature on oxidized silicon substrates. The titanium acts as an adhesion promoter between the SiO2 and the gold film. My Question: What is the adhesion mechanism between the titanium and gold film at room temperature...

Hi all, I would like to deposit a thin titanium film (d=100nm) with pvd sputtering on an epoxy encapsulated IC-chip to protect the chip against corrosive gases. Titanium target (diameter: 100mm) is straight above IC-Chip (length and width: 6mm, height:2mm), working pressure ~ 1E-4 mbar. My...
