Laue transmission diffraction optics for thin film stress calculation
نویسندگان
چکیده
White beam Laue transmission diffraction topography has been used to determine the curvature of a crystalline substrate, from which the stress in the overlaying coating is determined. A detailed analytical method has been developed which correlates the introduction of curvature to the substrate in two orthogonal directions with attendant changes in the dimensions of a given topographic reflection. The size of a given reflection is found to depend on the dimensions of the incident beam, the horizontal and vertical incident beam divergences, the orthogonal curvatures of the crystalline substrate, the camera length, and the indices of the selected reflection. The thermal tests of sputtered polycrystalline Ta and Cr films on Si (100) substrates are used to demonstrate the applicability of this phenomenon. Simultaneous observation of film delamination and quantification of associated stresses is shown to be possible. © 2003 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1580191#

متن کاملTerahertz spectroscopy studies on epitaxial vanadium dioxide thin films across the metal-insulator transition.
We present results on terahertz (THz) spectroscopy on epitaxial vanadium dioxide (VO(2)) films grown on sapphire across the metal-insulator transition. X-ray diffraction indicates the VO(2) film is highly oriented with the crystallographic relationship: (002)(film)//(0006)(sub) and [010](film)//[2 ̅1 ̅10](sub). THz studies measuring the change in transmission as a function of temperature demonstr...

The Boltzmann equation is a semiclassical approach to the calculation of the electrical conductivity. In this work we will first introduce a simple model for calculation of thin film resistivity and show that in an appropriate condition the resistivity of thin films depends on the electron mean free path, so that studying and measurement of thin films resistivity as a function of film thickne...
