AbstractWe report a new method to measure the temperature-dependent coefficient of thermal expansion α(T) of thin films. The method exploits the temperature dependent buckling of clamped square plates. This buckling was investigated numerically using an energy minimization method and finite element simulations. Both approaches show excellent agreement even far away from simple critical buckling. The numerical results were used to extract Cα(T) = α0+α1(T−T0 ) of PECVD silicon nitride between 20° and 140°C with α0 = (1.803±0.006)×10−6°C−1, α1 = (7.5±0.5)×10−9 °C−2, and T0 = 25°C.

AbstractThe present work proposes a novel microbridge testing method to simultaneously evaluate the Young's modulus, residual stress of thin films under small deformation. Theoretic analysis and finite element calculation are conducted on microbridge deformation to provide a closed formula of deflection versus load, considering both substrate deformation and residual stress in the film. Silicon nitride films fabricated by low pressure chemical vapor deposition on silicon substrates are tested to demonstrate the proposed method. The results show that the Young's modulus and residual stress for the annealed silicon nitride film are respectively 202 GPa and 334.9 MPa.
