Abstract

X-ray diffraction has been used to measure the stress in thin nickel films. In addition to the stress value, information is obtained about the elastic interaction between grains. Various models exist to calculate the stress from the strain. A model that uses the mechanical elastic constants has been used. From this model it can be concluded that the model by Hill is applicable for the layers analyzed. Annealing experiments between 300 and 500 K show that the initially present growth stress reduces to zero at 500 K. The microstrain inside the grains is obtained from the broadening of the diffraction lines measured. During annealing the diffraction lines narrow. This is caused by two effects: grain growth and reduction of the dislocation density.
