Surface roughness effect on copper–alumina adhesion

The surface roughness of the substrate itself could play an important role for the bonding at the interface. In this paper, a correlation of the surface roughness of a rigid alumina substrate and its 2D model of estimated surface area has been studied using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). With roughe...
