(a) Photograph image of a 4 inch Si wafer with indium islands of a 50 nm nominal thickness. SEM images of indium islands on Si wafers. The nominal thicknesses of indium varies for (b) 50 nm, (c) 100 nm, and (d) 200 nm. (e) Average indium particle diameters and distances of nearest neighboring particles for various indium nominal thicknesses. (f–h) Size distributions and areal coverages of indium nanoparticles with varying nominal thicknesses.
