An Apparatus for the Simultaneous Measurement of the Optical Transmission and Mass Changes in Thin Films

  • Conference paper
Vacuum Microbalance Techniques

Abstract

An apparatus which has been employed for the measurement of the optical transmission and mass changes in metal films is described. The stoichiometry of the metal film is inferred from measurements carried out with an automated bakeable vacuum microbalance. The optical transmission of the film is measured for monochromatic light from 4000 to 8000 A. The experimental difficulties encountered in this study are discussed in detail.

Results obtained with this apparatus during the stepwise evaporation of a copper film are presented and briefly discussed.

Some pertinent comments concerning the design and use of pivot-type microbalances are included in an appendix.
