Here, we present a novel approach for the thermocompression bonding of Cu-Cu thin films on GaAs-based waveguides without having any oxide phase, contamination or impurities at the interface. We designed a hybrid system in which magnetron sputtering of Ta, thermal evaporation of Cu and Cu-Cu thermocompression bonding processes can be performed sequentially under high vacuum conditions. GaAs/Ta/Cu and Cu/Ta/GaAs structures were thermocompressionally bonded in our in-situ homebuilt bonding system by optimizing the deposition parameters and bonding conditions. The grown thin film and the obtained interfaces were characterized using x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX) techniques. The optimum Ta and Cu films' thicknesses were found to be about 20 nm and 500 nm, respectively. EDX analysis showed that the Ta thin film interlayer diffused into the Cu structure, providing better adhesivity and rigidity for the bonding. Additionally, no oxidation phases were detected at the interface. The best bonding quality was obtained when heated up to 430 degrees C with an applied pressure of 40 MPa during bonding process.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 10The Comparison of Transient Photocurrent Spectroscopy Measurements of Pulsed Electron Deposited Zno Thin Film for Air and Vacuum Ambient Conditions(Elsevier, 2019) Özdoğan, Mehmet; Yiğen, Serap; Çelebi, Cem; Utlu, GökhanPhotoconduction mechanism of ZnO thin films that produced by Pulsed Electron Deposition method is systematically investigated by taking Transient Photocurrent Spectroscopy measurements for different atmospheres including high vacuum and air environments. Response and recovery rates of photocurrent in the air are faster than the rates in high vacuum condition. The results in the presented work clearly indicate that the photoconduction of ZnO thin films with high surface-area-to-volume ratio are surface-related and mostly governed by adsorption/desorption of oxygen and water molecules in the atmosphere. Therefore, the high surface interaction tendency of ZnO surface with the atmosphere inevitably leads to charge transfer from surface to adsorbates and/or vice versa.
