Problems solved by technology

The hardness and elastic modulus of the film are measured with a nano-indentation instrument, and the maximum indentation depth can only be avoided within one-tenth of the film thickness to avoid being affected by the properties of the matrix (D.Beegan, M.T.Laugier, Surf.Coatings Technol. 199(2005) 32.), there is no mature method that can separate the above physical properties of the film when the maximum indentation depth is large

Embodiment 1

[0020] Embodiment 1: The tested sample is a glass-based titanium film, and the samples used for calibration are glass-based titanium films with a film thickness of 750nm and a film thickness of 2100nm, see Table (1). The sample used to test the thickness is a sample with a film thickness of 1400nm. It is assumed that the known thickness samples are glass-based titanium films with a film thickness of 750nm and a film thickness of 2100nm. These two film thicknesses are randomly selected. The titanium film with a film thickness of 1400nm is the sample to be tested, and the film thickness is assumed to be unknown. The glass is all commercial white float glass. Titanium films were prepared by magnetron sputtering. Use the following methods to analyze and test relevant physical properties:

[0021] (1) Do nanoindentation experiments on solid film samples, choose the continuous stiffness method, and repeat three times for each sample;

The sample used to test the thickness is a sample with a film thickness of 185nm. It is assumed that the known thickness samples are 110nm film thickness and 320nm film thickness, these two film thicknesses are randomly selected, and the 185nm sample is the tested sample, assuming that the film thickness is unknown. The glass is all commercial white float glass. Titanium nitride films were prepared by magnetron sputtering.

Abstract

The invention relates to a a method for testing physical performances of a solid film and a film-substrate interface and belongs to the technical fields of analytic instruments and material performance testing. The method is based on a nanometer indentation continuous stiffness curve and takes the ratio of elastic modulus square of a film-substrate system to the hardness as the ordinate and the indentation depth as the abscissa, a curve is fitted in a iteration screening least square method, and fitted parameters are analyzed and demarcated, thus measuring the physical performances of the film which includes the thickness and the ratio of the elastic modulus square to the hardness and representing parameters related to the thickness of an interface layer and parameters related to the ratio of the elastic modulus square of the interface layer to the hardness and the like. In the method, all tests of the physical performances of the film and the film-substrate interface are based on the nanometer indentation technology, the method can be carried out under the condition of not exposing the substrate surface, the existing equipment does not need to be altered, only the analytic method needs to be change, the application range is wide, and any film material with the film thickness less than the maximum indentation depth of a nanometer indenter can use the method.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for testing the physical properties of the interface between a thin film and a film base based on a nano-indentation continuous stiffness curve, and belongs to the technical field of analytical instruments and material performance testing thereof. Background technique [0002] Thin film technology is widely used in today's industrial products, that is, a thin film is coated on the surface of the product to prevent material corrosion, oxidation, etc. to improve the durability of the material, or to increase the material's function by giving the material different properties from the substrate, or Make the material more beautiful etc. In many applications, the physical properties of the film (such as thickness, elastic modulus, hardness, etc.) and the nature of the interaction between the film and the substrate have a considerable impact on the quality of the product and need to be defined. [0003] For the measurement ...
