B와 W의 함량이 무전해 Co 합금 박막의 경도에 미치는 영향 연구
Effect of B and W Contents on Hardness of Electroless Co Alloy Thin Films
본 연구에서는 Co-B, Co-W-B 합금 박막 형성을 위한 무전해 전착법을 고안하고, 이를 통해 형성한 합금 박막의 B과 W의 함량이 박막의 경도에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 무전해 전착을 통해 무정형 상태의 Co 합금 박막을 성공적으로 형성할 수 있었으며, 환원제인 dimethylamine borane과 W의 원료인 sodium tungstate dihydrate의 농도를 조절함으로써 Co 합금 박막 내 혼합되는 B과 W의 함량을 조절하였다. 이를 통해 Co 합금 박막 내 전위(dislocation)의 전파(propagation)를 억제하는 B과 W의 함량이 증가할수록 박막의 경도가 증가함을 확인할 수 있었다. 뿐만 아니라, 무전해 전착 시 포기(aeration)를 수행하지 않을 경우에 포기를 수행한 경우보다 Co 합금 박막 내 B과 W의 함량을 대폭 증가시킬 수 있었고 최종적으로 Co-W-B 합금 박막의 경도를 8.9 (±0.3) GPa까지 향상시켰다.
In this study, the electroless deposition of Co-B and Co-W-B alloy thin films was developed and the effect of B and W contents on the hardness of the alloy thin films were investigated. An amorphous Co alloy film was successfully formed by electroless deposition and the contents of B and W in the film were controlled by varying the concentrations of dimethylamine borane and sodium tungstate dihydrate, which were used as a reducing agent and W source, respectively. The hardness of the thin films increased as the contents of B and W were increased because B and W act as impurities suppressing the propagation of dislocation in a film. In addition, it was found that the content of B and W in the Co alloy films can be increased significantly when aeration is not performed. Finally, the hardness of Co- W-B alloy thin film was improved up to 8.9 (±0.3) GPa.
