Residual stress modeling of density modulated silicon thin films using finite element analysis

Abstract: Density modulated thin films offer a compliant property that can reduce residual stress, which typically originate during the growth of thin films. Lower residual stress improves adhesion properties of the film with reduced buckling or delamination, and therefore leads to more durable coatings. In this study, finite element analysis (FEA) was employed to simulate the residual stresses developed in density modulated silicon (Si) thin films, which incorporate alternating low and high density layers. The main foc… Show more

“…FEA is a powerful tool to understand the characters of macroscopic structural materials, thus it has been widely introduced into analyzing thin film deformation and stress. [16,17] Compared with analytical modeling that cannot deal with nonuniform microstructure, FEA could achieve the numerical results for complicated systems and thus provide insight into their microscopic or submicroscopic mechanism.…”
