Starting from the effective Fuchs–Sondheimer model of electronic conduction in thin polycrystalline films and implementing the asymptotic expressions of conductivity it is shown that the hypothesis of temperature independence of the grain boundary reflection coefficient agrees with previously published results.

ABSTRACTThin films can break up into islands only if they are perturbed by substrate-intersecting perturbations. Grain boundary grooves and vertex pits are typical defects which nucleate holes in these films. Holes which exceed a critical size - proportional to the ratio of the film thickness to the equilibrium contact angle - grow, eventually disconnecting the film.

The analysis of electrical conductivity of continuous thin monocrystalline metal film has been treated by assuming that the scattering from other sources than grain-boundaries can be described by an effective relaxation time. This relaxation time method is applied to the temperature coefficient of resistivity and leads to an analytical approximate equation in terms of the grain-boundary reflection coefficientrand the reduced thicknessk.Comparison of the results with those deduced from the exact equation (derived from the Mayadas and Shatzkes theory) shows that they deviate by less than 5% in largek–,p–, andr– ranges.
