Indentation measurements on thin films
Thin films have an important part to play in modern technology. It is difficult to characterize the mechanical properties of thin films because the films cannot usually be investigated separately from the substrate. One of the few methods that can be used for such investigations consists in making an indentation in the film by applying an extremely small and accurately controlled force while at...
متن کاملSubstrate effects on indentation plastic zone development in thin soft films
Plastic zone evolution in Al–2 wt% Si metal films on silicon and sapphire substrates was studied using nanoindentation and atomic force microscopy (AFM). AFM was used to measure the extent of plastic pileup, which is a measure of the plastic zone radius in the film. It was found that the plastic zone size develops in a self-similar fashion with increasing indenter penetration when normalized by...
متن کاملElastic anisotropy effect on indentation-induced thin film interfacial delamination
Effect of elastic anisotropy on indentation-induced thin film interfacial delamination, especially, at the initiation and early growth stage, is examined. The indentation load is modeled as a constant pressure over an expanding semi-spherical cavity. The delamination process is approached by a cohesive zone model. The rest of the problem is formulated within the general anisotropic elasticity t...
متن کاملNano-indentation of Copper Thin Films on Silicon Substrates
Indentation methods are finding increasing use in the study of mechanical properties of bulk and thin-film materials over a wide range of size scales (e.g., [1,2]). With the increasing sophistication of instrumented, depth-sensing indentation equipment and of computational methods to model the deformation of materials subjected to indentation, there is growing interest in studying the elastopla...
متن کاملNew methods of analyzing indentation experiments on very thin films
Indentation experiments on thin films are analyzed by using a rigorous solution to model elastic substrate effects. Two cases are discussed: elastic indentations where film and substrate are anisotropic and elastoplastic indentations where significant material pileup occurs. We demonstrate that the elastic modulus of a thin film can be accurately measured in both cases, even if there is signifi...
