... We have developed a technique to determine the local Young's moduli of the thin films within a composite stack of CMOS films, without accessing the individual layers during processing. By fabricating cantilevers of various combinations of field oxide, polysilicon 1, gate oxide, polysilicon 2...

... (direct problem), material properties can be derived fitting the computed velocities to the measured ones (inverse problem). The stability and robustness of the inverse problem solution for an isotropic supported thin film is studied with an appropriate sensitivity analysis. The elastic constants...

... Test methods for two types of thin-film tensile specimens have been developed in earlier works, and these are reviewed as background for new applications. Two kinds of specimens are tested. The first is 600 μm wide and suspended across a support frame, and the second is 6 to 50 μm wide and fixed...

... Unusual behavior has been reported for D 2 O/H 2 O-dosed CaF 2 optical thin films. This behavior includes resistance to laser-induced damage at 2.7-μm radiation, improved damage morphology, and reduced optical absorption in the water band for even H 2 O-dosed CaF 2 optical thin films. Analysis...
