Oxidation mechanism of thin Cu films: A gateway towards the formation of single oxide phase

Controlled thermal oxidations of thin copper films at relatively lower temperatures (up to 500°C) leading towards the formation of a single phase of copper oxide are investigated where the oxidation temperature, duration, oxygen partial pressure, film thickness and the crystallographic orientations...
