Research Abstract |
Gold nanoparticles on silicon work not only as catalysts to initiate autocatalytic electroless metal deposition but also as binding points between the deposited metal film and the silicon surface. Gold nanoparticles can directly produce adhesive metal films on flat silicon surfaces without any treatments. Crosssectional transmission electron microscopic observation reveals that gold nanoparticles form an alloy with silicon at the room temperature. This alloy improves the adhesion of metal film on silicon. A sharp and clear metal pattern in tens-micron-scale was formed on the silicon surface by using a photoresist pattern and the present plating method. The contact resistivity between the electrolessly deposited metal film and silicon was as low as that for the conventional metallization methods.
