This paper investigates residual stress of epitaxial silicon film on SOS thin film systems. The emphasis was to develop a method to obtain accurately the complete residual stress tensors. It was found that using the multiple asymmetric X-ray diffraction method to measure strains in 13 [hkl] directions, the complete residual stress tensors can be determined reliably. The results were verified by both the Raman Backscattering and the substrate curvature methods.
