Abstract

A silver nano-twinned thin film structure and a method for forming the same are provided. A silver nano-twinned thin film structure, including: a substrate; an adhesive-lattice-buffer layer over the substrate; and a silver nano-twinned thin film over the adhesive-lattice-buffer layer, wherein the silver nano-twinned thin film comprises parallel-arranged twin boundaries, and a cross-section of the silver nano-twinned thin film reveals that 50% or more of all twin boundaries are parallel-arranged twin boundaries, wherein the parallel-arranged twin boundaries include Σ3 and Σ9 boundaries, wherein the Σ3 and Σ9 boundaries include 95% or more crystal orientation.
