Abstract

Indentation load relaxation (ILR) experiments with indentation depths in the submicron range are described. The observed flow behavior of a 1μm thick A1-2%Si film deposited on a silicon substrate depended on the depth of penetration. For shallow penetration depths, the shape of the flow curves obtained from this sample are similar to those obtained from a conventional load relaxation test of a bulk specimen. For penetration depths close to the film/substrate interface, the influence of the substrate on the film's deformation behavior was observed.
