Abstract  

Hardness (H) and elastic modulus (E) of 1 $\mu$m thick Cu film deposited on Si substrate were measured by means of nanoindentation technique. The E value of Cu film obtained by using single stiffness measurement (SSM) is consistent with that obtained from continuous stiffness measurement (CSM). However, the H value obtained from SSM is much smaller than that from CSM because of occurrence of significant creep during the holding period at ambient temperature. The analysis of loading curves shows that the substrate effect on hardness measurement appears as the indentation depth is about 528-587 nm, indicating the ratio of penetration depth to film thickness (about 0.5) is consistent with the finite element calculation.

Key words:  nanoindentation      Cu film      hardness      elastic modulus
