  8. Conclusion • The surfaces of the degraded spots are covered by a thin layer of copper oxides. The thickness of the layer is much below 1 μm.

  9. Composition of Granite SiO 72.04%, Al2O3 14.42%, K2O 4.12%, Na2O 3.69%, CaO 1.82%, FeO 1.68%, Fe2O3 1.22%, MgO 0.71%, TiO2 0.30%, P2O5 0.12%, MnO 0.05%

  10. Possible degradation mechanism • Evaporation of the DI water used to mediate the contact between Cu/Kapton foil and granite leads to several highly localized small area where active oxygen can reach certain level to be reactive to Cu. The active oxygen can come either from granite or possible residues from the manufacturer as one can see that the surface of the as received foil has discolored spots.

  11. Recommended Remedy • Seal the granite table to prevent the formation of some localized water spots. • Ask the manufacturer to do a better job on cleaning the Cu/Kapton foils
