Abstract
UPS, STM, XPS, and HIBS were performed to study initial stages of nucleation of Cu deposited from Cu(hfac)2 via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on clean Si(111)-7x7 surface. At room temperature Cu binds to the substrate mostly by Cu(I) as demonstrated by the absence of shake-up features in the XPS spectra. HIBS using 12C3+ was performed in order to obtain the total Cu coverage (Cu atoms/cm2). The coverages are not linearly related to the apparent exposures..
Keywords
