摘要
Nanopillar films of Al-Nb alloys have been fabricated on substrates with a regular concave cell structure by oblique angle physical vapor deposition. The concave cell structure of the substrate increases the shadow region for the flux of depositing atoms, assisting the formation of an isolated nanopillar on each cell. Depending upon the alloy composition and deposition angle, the pillar shape changes from horn-like nanopillars through triangular nanoprisms to nanoplates. The Al-Nb alloy nanoplate films with wide gaps between plates are of interest as electrodes for capacitor applications. The dielectric oxide film formed on the nanoplate film showed a capacitance more than ten times larger than that on the respective flat film, due to the enlarged surface area.
