Comparison of Germanium and Copper Seed Layers for the Fabrication of Smooth Silver Thin Films

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Seed layers can reduce surface roughness and increase optical transmissivity of silver thin films used in plasmonic applications. We compare germanium and copper seed layers and find germanium preferable for 10–40 nm thick silver films.
