Residual stresses in multi-layered silicon-on-sapphire thin film systems

This paper uses the finite element method to analyse the generation and evolution of residual stress in silicon-on-sapphire thin film systems during cooling. The effects of material properties, thin film structures and processing conditions, on the stress distribution were explored in detail. It was...
