Abstract

The mechanics for plane strain geometry are presented for thin film fine lines by considering the case of microwedge indentation of a fine line subject to no residual stress. The analysis is separated into three parts depending on the absence or presence of buckling. During indentation, unbuckled or double-buckled configurations may exist, while single-buckling may occur when the indenter tip is removed. A microwedge tip was employed in the indentation testing of unstressed rf-sputtered tungsten fine lines to demonstrate some of the analysis.
