Investigated the effect of pH value on the Cu2O film microstructure.
Both CuAlO2 and CuAl2O4 are found at the Cu/Al2O3 interface after DBC process.
A thin layer of discontinuous interfacial product can be detected when reacts 7 h.
The morphology of Cu2O grains significantly affects the Cu/Al2O3 bonding strength.
The adhesion strength of Cu2O/Cu drops from 4950 to 3935 mN with increasing pH.
