Abstract
The effect of varying thickness of Ag/Ti metal bilayer and annealing time have investigated for controlling self-organized nanoparticles (NPs) on 4H-SiC substrate. In addition, Glass and Si substrate which have different surface energy from SiC were fabricated for analyzing interaction of agglomeration. The results of FE-SEM indicated the different formation behaviors of NPs in various ranges of fabrication condition. The surface energy was measured by using a Contact Angle Analyzer. The formation of network-like NPs was observed on Glass and 4H-SiC, respectively, whereas it was not the case on Si substrates. It has been found that the size of NPs increases with decreasing surface energy, due to particle size-dependent hydrophilic properties of substrates. The different formation behavior was explained by using Young's equation for the contact angles between the metal and different substrates.
