Abstract

The effect of room temperature oxidation on light scattering by copper particles deposited on a silicon wafer was analyzed. The results show that the room temperaturature oxidation of copper particles proceeds in a continuous manner. The results demonstrated the method of light scattering as a means for measuring the thickness of particle coatings. Excellent agreement was obtained between light scattering measurements and transmission electron microscope (TEM) images.
