Abstract
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to assess the interaction of evaporated and sputter-deposited copper with Teflon AF1600. Both evap oration and sputtering caused defluorination, graphitization and cross linking of the carbon chains, as well as the formation of Cu-C bonds a nd C-O free radicals. Additionally, the higher energies of the sputter -deposited copper atoms led to a loss of oxygen and to the total react ion of the deposited copper as carbide and fluorides.
