AbstractWe have developed a technique for measuring thin film stress during growth by monitoring the wafer curvature. By measuring the deflection of multiple parallel laser beams with a CCD detector, the sensitivity to vibration is reduced and a radius of curvature limit of 4 km has been obtained in situ. This technique also enables us to obtain a 2-dimensional profile of the surface curvature from the simultaneous reflection of a rectangular array of beams. Results from the growth of SiGe alloy films are presented to demonstrate the unique information that can be obtained during growth.

AbstractA new technique of measuring thin film stress with a tunneling sensor is presented. Basic measurement concepts, preliminary results on thin film stress measurement, and fabrication processes for the tunneling stress measurement sensor are described. The feasibility of implementing this technique for in-situ stress monitoring during thin film deposition demonstrated.
