Abstract

The invention discloses a test method for several critical strain values ​​of a metal thin film on a flexible substrate, which includes stretching the metal thin film / flexible substrate system with a good interface with a slight force, and recording the stress-strain curve of the metal thin film during the stretching process And the resistance change-strain curve, and at the same time continuously observe the microstructure change of the metal film through microscopic analysis, and obtain the microcrack percentage-strain curve. The strain at the moment when the resistance change on the resistance change-strain curve changes from the linear stage to the nonlinear stage is defined as the critical crack initiation strain; the theoretical strain when the percentage of microcracks in the microcrack percentage-strain curve is deduced to zero is defined as the critical crack Extended strain; the strain at the moment when the resistance increases sharply on the resistance change-strain curve is defined as the critical crack instability strain. The three critical strains constitute the failure critical strain system of the metal thin film in the metal thin film / flexible substrate system.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for testing several critical strain values ​​of metal thin films in industries such as microelectronics, in particular to a method for testing several critical strain values ​​of metal thin films on flexible substrates. Background technique [0002] Flexible circuit boards are widely used in VLSI and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). Usually, metal thin film materials (such as Cu and Al) used as metallized wiring are deposited on the flexible substrate to form a metal thin film / flexible substrate. system. As a metal structure thin film material for engineering, its plasticity or critical fracture strain is an extremely important index, which can be used for material safety design and life prediction. For a free metal film or a metal thin film deposited on a rigid substrate, its tensile properties are usually locally destabilized and rapidly fractured after destabilization, so it is easy to directly determine its ...
