Figures 8 and 9 show the IPFZ maps overlaid with pattern quality for temperatures varying from 20°C to 900°C. A preliminary investigation of the Au film at room temperature revealed a bimodal nanostructure, with the presence of small grains with size in the range of 30 nm and large grains with size in the 150 nm range. The latter ones showed a strong [111] out-of-plane texture. During heating, the [111] grains tended to grow faster than the [110] and [100] ones. It is also possible to observe that grain growth started at a temperature below 150°C, while holes are visible at 170°C (highlighted with a red circle). The holes were formed in the vicinity of non-preferentially oriented (non-PO) [110] and [100] grains, which were also the site where the hole growth was continuing. | Figures 8 and 9 show the IPFZ maps overlaid with pattern quality for temperatures varying from 20°C to 900°C.
