Thin film growth is a long-standing research topic in material science research. A better understand the relations of film’s stress with its experiment temperature, deposition …
Intrinsic stresses which develop during thin film deposition can degrade film performance and lead to the failure of systems and devices which rely on thin …
In order to understand the stress behaviors in thin films, three related topics were investigated. First, intrinsic stress generation mechanisms were studied by in-situ stress …
With increasing awareness of lead's harmful effects to the environment and human health, there is a large drive toward lead free products. One of the …
