Scanning transmission electron microscopy investigations of self-forming diffusion barrier formation in Cu(Mn) alloys on SiO2

Scanning transmission electron microscopy in high angle annular dark field mode has been used to undertake a characterisation study with sub-nanometric spatial resolution of the barrier formation process for a Cu(Mn) alloy (90%/10%) deposited on SiO2. Electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) measure...
