M. Alvisi et al., SURFACE AND INTERFACE MORPHOLOGY OF THIN OXIDE-FILMS INVESTIGATED BY X-RAY REFLECTIVITY AND ATOMIC-FORCE MICROSCOPY, Surface & coatings technology, 101(1-3), 1998, pp. 76-79
In this work, we investigate in details the air/film and film/substrat
e interface morphology of single HfO2, SiO2 and ZrO2 films by means of
X-ray reflectivity and atomic force microscopy measurements. The film
s were deposited on silicon substrate by dual ion beam sputtering tech
nique. The roughness obtained from the X-ray scattering experiments we
re compared with the atomic force microscopy data. (C) 1998 Published
