silicon (PS) matrix have been experimentally studied. SEM and AES were used to
investigate the structure and elemental composition of Cu-Si samples. The top part of the Cu-
PS samples is shown to demonstrate the following structure: large faceted Cu grains at the
top, a porous fine-grained copper film underneath the large grains, and the copper pointed
rods extended from the surface into the PS layer. The top part of the silicon skeleton of the …
