  2. Molecular Fractal Surfaces Analysis by Spectroscopic Ellipsometry • Introduction • Adsorption Process Interactives Forces Fractal Surfaces • Exp Set Up and data processing • Some examples • Conclusions

  3. INTRODUCTION:

  4. SURFACE NATURE

  5. SURFACE NATURE • Extreme sensitivity of the Ellipsometry Technique • Archer, R.M.Pashley Jour.Colloid and Interface 71,3,491(1977) • SURFACE SPECIFITY ROUGHNESS LATERAL CORRELATION Fractal Dimension

  6. SURFACE ANALYSIS Fractal Dimension CORRELATION LENGTH

  7. SURFACE ANALYSIS • Basic Surface Adsorption Theories • BET (1938) Plane surface no particules interactions

  8. Adsorption Force Van Der Waals Dipole-Dipole short range London long range L-6 interaction energy See,e.g., R.French J.Am.Ceram.Soc.83,9,2117(2000)

  9. Fractal Theory developments • B. MandeBrot ”The Fractal Geometry of Nature”, edited by Freeman San Francisco,1982). • Application turned to Halsey Modified (FHH) N number of time the use of metric R is accomplished to get the area (length (1) or Volume (3)) of a self affine fractal object with dimension D Metric R is the molecule size • Nm monolayer coverage • film thickness at pressure p • N coverage at pressure p Extension to BET-Fractal formalism:

  10. Extension to BET-Fractal formalism: • Active surface Area Isotherm determination : Vm monolayer coverage Cm monolayer capacity a=3-D fractal surface dimension Formalism (ASA)

  16. Gold film prior and after cleaning

  17. Si Ge Epitaxied Ge surfaces

  18. High k HfO2 surfaces 3-D character Volume>surface adsorption Open microporosity Not yet verified by other techniques Hydrophilic contaminated surface

  19. Conclusions: Molecular Surface Fractal Analysis (MFSA), • High sensitivity and high speed of today’s SE instruments • A new potential development orientation for surface, modification during a process,( etching, plasma, epitaxial films,..). • Understanding of fundamental adsorption mechanism • Surface molecular orientation by polarimetry • The basic system remains more versatile adjusting molecular metrics but need low pressure, temperature controlled with fast in situ SE ellipsometer. • H2O, refined EPA version is an easy method in the case of many inert hydrophilic surfaces of the nanotechnology
