Journal ArticleDOI

A comparative micro-cantilever study of the mechanical behavior of silicon based passivation films

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive study on the mechanical behavior of plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposited silicon oxide, oxynitride and nitride thin films is provided, and the results are compared with standard nanoindentation measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interface fracture properties of thin films studied by using the micro-cantilever deflection technique

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the mechanical behavior of interfaces between silicon oxide and metallic thin films using an alternative approach which is based on the miniaturized cantilever deflection technique.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the influence of microcantilever pre-crack geometries on the apparent fracture toughness of brittle materials

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of the pre-crack geometry on the apparent fracture toughness is provided. Butler et al. show that the effect of material bridges and the impact of rounded precrack corners when two dimensional models are employed to evaluate the fracture toughness.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fracture toughness of intermetallic Cu6Sn5 in lead-free solder microelectronics

TL;DR: In this article, micro-cantilever fracture testing is applied on FIB-prepared single-crystalline Cu 6 Sn 5 cantilevers to clarify on the microstructure-fracture relationship.
Journal ArticleDOI

Micron-sized fracture experiments on amorphous SiOx films and SiOx/SiNx multi-layers

TL;DR: In this article, miniaturized monolithic cantilevers of thermally grown silicon oxide and multi-layer cantilever of plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposited silicon oxide, nitride were mechanically characterized.
