AbstractThe residual stress in silicon substrates after local thermal oxidation is discussed experimentally using microscopic Raman spectroscopy. The stress distribution in the silicon substrate is determined by three main factors: volume expansion of newly grown silicon–dioxide, deflection of the silicon–nitride film used as an oxidation barrier, and mismatch in thermal expansion coefficients between silicon and silicon dioxide.Tensile stress increases with the increase of oxide film thickness near the surface of the silicon substrate under the oxide film without nitride film on it. The tensile stress is sometimes more than 100 MPa. On the other hand, a complicated stress change is observed near the surface of the silicon substrate under the nitride film. The tensile stress increases initially, as it does in the area without nitride film on it. However, it decreases with the increase of oxide film thickness, then the compressive stress increases in the area up to 170 MPa. This stress change is explained by considering the drastic structural change of the oxide film under the nitride film edge during oxidation.

Residual stress has significant influence on the performance of mechanical components, and the nondestructive estimation of residual stress is always a difficult problem. This study applies the relative nonlinear coefficient of critical refraction longitudinal (LCR) wave to nondestructively characterize the stress state of materials; the feasibility of residual stress estimation using the nonlinear property of LCR wave is verified. The nonlinear ultrasonic measurements based on LCR wave are conducted on components with known stress state to calculate the relative nonlinear coefficient. Experimental results indicate that the relative nonlinear coefficient monotonically increases with prestress and the increment of relative nonlinear coefficient is about 80%, while the wave velocity only decreases about 0.2%. The sensitivity of the relative nonlinear coefficient for stress is much higher than wave velocity. Furthermore, the dependence between the relative nonlinear coefficient and deformation state of components is found. The stress detection resolution based on the nonlinear property of LCR wave is 10 MPa, which has higher resolution than wave velocity. These results demonstrate that the nonlinear property of LCR wave is more suitable for stress characterization than wave velocity, and this quantitative information could be used for residual stress estimation.

Residual stress in coatings often affects the service performance of coatings, and the residual stresses in some local areas even lead to premature failure of coatings. In this work, we characterized the residual stress of local micro-areas of a nanocrystalline Cr2O3 coating deposited on a Si wafer through micro-Raman spectroscopy, including the depositional edge zone where the electrode was placed, the micro-area containing Cr2O3 macroparticles, and other micro-areas vulnerable to cracks. To accurately measure the thickness of the coating, we combined optical interferometry and direct measurement by a profilometer. The results indicate the existence of in-plane tensile residual stress on the Cr2O3 coating. In thick coatings, the residual stress is independent of the coating thickness and is stable between 0.55 GPa and 0.75 GPa. As the coating thickness is less than 0.8 μm, the residual stress is directly related to the coating thickness. This in-plane tensile stress is considered as the origin of the observed microcrack, which can partially release the stress.
