Adhesion of thin Au layers on glass treated with Ar plasma and biphenyl-4, 4 '-dithiol
Original language description
Glass is an often used substrate for preparation of thin metal films for use in electronics or optics, but due to its surface morphology and chemical properties its adhesion to sputtered Au layers is usually poor. A method utilizing Ar+ plasma treatment and grafting of biphenyl-4,4'-dithiol (BPD) was employed to improve adhesion between sputtered thin Au layers and glass surface. The proposed method leads to changes of surface chemistry of the glass, introducing chemical groups (namely -SH) with good affinity to Au. The plasma treatment was used to activate the glass surface to react with the BPD and create a strong bond. Nanoindentation and scratch tests were performed on the thin Au layers deposited on pristine and treated glass. The results show the plasma treatment leads to improvements of the adhesion by itself with the BPD grafting not having a positive effect in this matter. Scanning electron microscopy showed the substrate modification has influence on the microstructure of the subsequently grown Au layers which leads to change of their optical properties as well.
