ABSTRACTWe demonstrate a new purely optical based method for the excitation and detection of acoustic and thermal disturbances in thin films. This technique is applied to the determination of the viscoelastic properties of unsupported and silicon supported polyimide thin (∼1 micron) films. We show how this technique can be used to detect film delaminations and suggest how it may be used to probe film-substrate adhesion quality.

Elastic modulus of thin homogeneous films can be determined by indenting the specimen to various depths and extrapolating the measured (apparent) E-values to zero penetration. The paper shows the application of five approximation functions for this purpose: linear, exponential, reciprocal exponential, Gao's, and the Doerner and Nix functions. Comparison of the results for 26 film/substrate combinations has shown that the indentation response of film/substrate composites can, in general, be described by the Gao analytical function. In determining the thin film modulus from experimental data, satisfactory results can also be obtained with the exponential function, while linear function may be used only for thick films where the relative depths of penetration are small. The article explains the pertinent procedures and gives practical recommendations for the testing.
