3 PET paper results aluminum oxide layers formed on both sides of the aluminum metal film the oxide layers were consistently nm thick, independent of metal thickness the optical properties of the films matched values calculated based on bulk optical constants when the aluminum thickness used was the aluminum metal thickness the electrical conductivity was consistently lower than predicted from bulk properties with the error worse for thinner films the aluminum had a 111 preferred orientation

23 Conclusion Samples of aluminum were deposited onto both untreated and plasma treated BOPP films Equal thickness aluminum oxide layers were found at the substrate-side and the air-surface-side of the aluminum layers The observed oxide layers thicknesses did not vary with plasma treatment level. This observation suggests that at least part of the oxide layers observed likely grow after deposition is complete. The cause of an increase in the crystallite size for the aluminum sample deposited onto an untreated BOPP film could not be assigned to the lack of plasma treatment due to the extra thickness of the aluminum layer in that sample.
24 Next steps Examine oxide layer film growth as a function of time after the deposition. The logistics of sample preparation for TEM make success unlikely if the oxide growth occurs in minutes but may be possible if the oxide growth occurs in hours.
25 Question? Can anyone explain why the apparent OD for aluminum, measured in the metallizer, decreases when the plasma treater is turned off?
