Near surface structure of ultrathin epitaxial Ru films on graphene/amorphous SiO2 revealed by azimuthal RHEED

Ru has been considered as an alternative metallic candidate for future local interconnects. The 2D reciprocal space map constructed from the azimuthal reflection high-energy electron diffraction patterns reveals that ultrathin Ru(0001) is epitaxially grown on transferred graphene on amorphous SiO 2...

description Ru has been considered as an alternative metallic candidate for future local interconnects. The 2D reciprocal space map constructed from the azimuthal reflection high-energy electron diffraction patterns reveals that ultrathin Ru(0001) is epitaxially grown on transferred graphene on amorphous SiO 2 through quasi-van der Waals interaction. The in-plane and out-of-plane lattice constants are measured from streaks’ separation and intensity modulations along streaks, respectively. Weak and broad rings indicate that a low density of nanoscale polycrystals exist on the surface. The intensities of 00 and non-00 diffraction spots vs. azimuthal angles in the 2D map show a few degrees out-of-plane and in-plane angular misorientations among grains, respectively. As the film thickness decreases these angular misorientations increase. Transmission electron microscopy carried out in this study also provides precise values of lattice constant and sub-grain sizes in the films. These findings show that ultrathin Ru film is epitaxial but not exactly single crystalline. Graphical abstract
