报告摘要：
In the present work, we summarize the novel microbridge testing method for mechanical characterization of thin films including single-layer, bilayer, trilayer, and multilayer thin films. The samples for microbridge tests were prepared with the microelectromechanical fabrication technique such that they were easy to be handled with. The microbridge tests were conducted with a load and displacement sensing nanoindenter system equipped with a microwedge probe. The length of the microwedge probe is larger than the width of microbridge samples, which makes one-dimensional analysis appropriate. In mechanics analysis, we modeled the substrate deformation with three coupled springs and considered residual stress in each layer, thereby resulting in a closed-form formula of deflection versus load. The microbridge testing method allows us to simultaneously evaluate the Young’s modulus, residual stress and bending fracture strength of single-layer films from an experimental load-deflection curve. The mechanics analysis shows that four parameters, bending stiffness, tensile stiffness, residual resultant force and residual moment, determine the bending behavior of a multilayer beam including the initial deflection caused only by residual moment and residual resultant force without any applied loads. An experimental procedure was developed to determine the four parameters. In addition to the characterization of elastic behaviors of thin films, the microbridge test has been extended to investigate the plastic behavior of thin films. Examples to demonstrate the developed microbridge test will be illustrated on single-layer, bilayer and trilayer films. The microbridge test is further developed to the nanobridge test, in which the adhesion between the probe and a tested nanowire must be considered.
