Abstract:
A deposited film of gold is adhered to a layer of silicon dioxide by a deposited film of Beta tantalum. After the gold is deposited on the Beta tantalum, a second film of Beta tantalum is deposited on the gold. This forms a composite sandwich adhering the gold to the silicon dioxide without decreasing the conductivity of the gold and allowing another layer of silicon dioxide to be adhered to the second film of Beta tantalum.
