While the variation of the substrate temperature does not affect significantly the excellent Nb thin film adhesion to the Si（100） substrate surface, the increase of the substrate temperature up to 570 K promotes an improvement of the grown film in terms of morphology and roughness. Such improvement is achieved through the formation of wider columnar structures with a reduced superficial roughness, around 5 nm, as shown by scanning electron microscopy（SEM） and atomic force microscopy. The use of temperatures over 570 K increases the substrate roughness due to the formation of irregular structures inside the film, as observed by SEM cross section analysis, and does not produce a relevant improvement on the crystalline structure of the material.展开更多

A key issue for efficient material processing is the determination of the laser parameters used in the experimental set ups. Despite a systematic investigation that has been performed to highlight the impact of every parameter independently, little attention has been drawn on the role of the substrate material on which the irradiated solid is placed. In this work, the influence of the substrate is emphasised for films of various thicknesses, which demonstrates that both the optical and thermophysical properties of the substrate affect the thermal fingerprint on the irradiated film while the impact is manifested to be higher at smaller film sizes. Two representative materials, silicon and fused silica, have been selected as typical substrates for thin films(gold and nickel) of different optical and thermophysical behaviour and the thermal response and damage thresholds are evaluated for the irradiated solids. The pronounced influence of the substrate is aimed to pave the way for new and more optimised designs of laserbased fabrication set ups and processing schemes.展开更多
