Viscosity effect on GaInSn studied by XPS
Abstract
Viscosity measurements of GaInSn eutectic alloys were performed in a homebuilt device for low (9%) and high (95%) relative humidity for shorter (450 min) and longer (1800 min) time periods. At constant exposure time a characteristic increase of viscosity is observed with increasing humidity. For high humidity, high viscosity is obtained after a short time. Assuming that the measured viscosity change is strongly related to the absorption of oxygen, XPS was applied to the chemical and quantitative analysis of differently prepared samples. In all cases, Ga is predominantly oxidized at the surface whereas Ga atoms in the metallic state are located deeper inside. Besides Ga 2 O 3 (the most stable oxide phase), the less stable Ga 2 O is detected. Indium and tin are almost stable in their metallic state. With increasing humidity the thickness of the oxide film increases in our case from about 19 Å to 25 Å, assuming a layer‐by‐layer model. The presented results confirm our assumption of the increase in viscosity of the GaInSn system as a consequence of the preferential oxidation of gallium in the near‐surface region.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
