abstract = {This paper addresses the influences of sputtering power and
deposition pressure on the surface morphology and structural
behavior of dc magnetron sputter-deposited copper (Cu) thin
films on p-type silicon grown at room temperature. Results
from our experiments show that the deposition rate of the Cu
film increases proportionally with the sputtering power and
decreases with deposition pressure. From the atomic force
microscopy (AFM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, high
sputtering power enhances the microstructure of the Cu film
through the surface diffusion mechanism of the adatom. The
poor microstructure as a result of low sputtering power
deposition was manifested with the smaller value of Cu film
root mean square (RMS) roughness obtained. The deposition
pressure has the contrary influence on structural properties
of Cu film in which high deposition pressure favors the
formation of voided boundaries film structure with degraded
film crystallinity due to the shadowing effect, which varies
with different deposition pressures. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd.
