Abstract

Stress measurement in thin film systems is discussed and applied to Al-2%Cu filns on SiO2/Si substrates during thermal cycling. Plastic deformation obscrved during compressive stress relaxation is correlated with the formation of hillocks on the metal films. The effect of secondary layers of 10%Ti-90%W on the thermo-mcchanical response of Al films is examined.
