On size effect of cleavage cracking in polycrystalline thin films
A crack trapping model is developed for the fracture resistance of high-angle grain boundaries in free-standing brittle thin films, based on which a new size effect is predicted. In addition to the crystallographic misorientations, the grain boundary toughness is also dependent on the film thickness, primarily due to the geometrically necessary crack front branching. 2007 Elsevier Ltd.

متن کاملMechanical Properties and Microstructural Evolution of Ta/TaNx Double Layer Thin Films Deposited by Magnetron Sputtering
Crystalline tantalum thin films of about 500nm thickness were deposited on AISI 316L stainless steel substrate using magnetron sputtering. To investigate the nano-mechanical properties of tantalum films, deposition was performed at two temperatures (25°C and 200°C) on TaNx intermediate layer with different N2/Ar flow rate ratio from 0 to 30%. Nano-indentation was performed to obtain the mechani...
متن کاملQuantum size effects in TiO2 thin films grown by atomic layer deposition
We study the atomic layer deposition of TiO2 by means of X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The Ti precursor, titanium isopropoxide, was used in combination with H2O on Si/SiO2 substrates that were heated at 200 °C. The low growth rate (0.15 Å/cycle) and the in situ characterization permitted to follow changes in the electronic structure of TiO2 in the sub-nanometer range, which are influenced by q...
متن کاملElectronic transport in polycrystalline graphene.
Most materials in available macroscopic quantities are polycrystalline. Graphene, a recently discovered two-dimensional form of carbon with strong potential for replacing silicon in future electronics, is no exception. There is growing evidence of the polycrystalline nature of graphene samples obtained using various techniques. Grain boundaries, intrinsic topological defects of polycrystalline ...
متن کاملEffects of Passivation Layer on Stress Relaxation and Mass Transport in Electroplated Cu Films
Recent studies have shown that the Cu/cap layer interface is the dominant diffusion path for electromigration (EM) in Cu interconnects, making it important to develop effective methods to evaluate the effect of passivation layer on interfacial mass transport and EM lifetime for Cu interconnects. This work shows that a set of isothermal stress relaxation tests together with appropriate modeling ...
