AbstractThin film reactions and its influence on mechanical stress have been investigated in Cr/Cu/Sn and Cr/Ni/Sn multilayer structures. Thin film stresses of different intermetallic compounds in each material system were evaluated using substrate bending technique. Stress state in the thin film structures was round directly related to formation kinetics and thermal properties of intermetallics. In Cu-Sn system, a large internal stress increase in tension was generally observed after being heat treated at high temperatures. In Ni-Sn systems, formation of intermetallics is a relatively slow reaction at elevated temperatures as compared to that of Cu-Sn samples. Contrary to that of Cu-Sn system, formation of Ni-Sn intermetallics causes a decrease in stress in the thin film structure. The correlation of thin film stress state and the structure evolution at the interface is studied and discussed in details.

AbstractA monolithic thin film structure for uncooled pyroelectric infrared detector arrays was developed to integrate thermally isolated Pb(Zr,Ti)O3-based thin films on silicon, with a low thermal conductivity, aerogel thin film interlayer. Aerogel thin films of 0.4-1.2μm thickness and 70-85% porosity were deposited on silicon substrates by dip coating to form a thermal isolation layer. 200-400nm thick Pb(Zr0.4Ti0.6)O3 films deposited on (La,Sr)CoO3[LSCO]//Pt electrodes atop these aerogel films displayed a remanent polarization Pr = 28μ C/cm2, pyroelectric coefficient p = 30 nC/cm2K, and calculated noise equivalent temperature difference NETD = 0.07°C. Processing of Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 thin films atop the aerogel interlayer structure required modifications to deposition and heat treatment methods to minimize tensile stress accumulation. Effects of thermal processing and thin film stress state on ferroelectric properties are also reported.
