摘要
The pressure-of-flotation apparatus for density comparison has been improved in temperature control. A new method for density and thickness measurements of a thin-film is proposed by a pressure-of-flotation method (PFM). The density and thickness of a molybdenum thin-film prepared on a silicon substrate by a sputtering technique are evaluated by measuring the density and mass differences of a silicon substrate with and without the thin-film. The estimated density of the molybdenum film is (7890 +/- 300) kg/m(3), which is smaller than that of bulk molybdenum. The average thickness of the thin-film is calculated to be (12.08 +/- 0.49) nm. Details on the density and thickness measurement of a thin-film and the results of the measurement are presented.
