Abstract

A review of surface and interface stresses relevant to thin film growth is presented. It is shown that surface stress effects that are generally ignored in the analysis of epitaxy can have an influence on the critical thickness for epitaxy, especially at larger Misfits. A discussion of intrinsic stress generation from surface stress is also presented.
