Real-Time Investigations during Sputter Deposition on Polymer Thin Films. — •Matthias Schwartzkopf — DESY, Photon Science, Notkestr. 85, 22607 Hamburg, Germany

The reproducible low-cost fabrication of functional polymer-metal-nanocomposites remains a major issue in applied nanotechnology. In order to obtain full control over the nanostructural evolution at the metal-polymer interface, we employed time-resolved surface sensitive X-ray scattering during sputter deposition of gold on thin polystyrene films and silicon substrates [1,2]. We correlate the evolution of the metallic layer morphology with changes in the key scattering features. This enabled us to identify the impact of atomic deposition rate on the growth regimes with their specific thresholds even at high deposition rates [3,4]. Our study opens up the opportunity to improve nanofabrication of tailored metal-polymer nanostructures for organic electronics like photovoltaic applications and plasmonic-based technologies.
