Abstract  

The nanostructured metallic multilayers (NMMs) are widely used as essential components of high performance microelectronics and interconnect structures. The deformation and damage of NMMs is the essential factor leading to the structural failure of these systems. In this paper, based on these experimental results achieved by the authors, as well as the state-of-the-art and progress at home and abroad in the plastic deformation behavior of micropillars of Cu-based NMMs, the correlation of microstructure-size constraint-mechanical performance in the Cu-based nanolayered micropillars is illustrated. The universality of their deformation modes and internal damage mechanisms are revealed, and the work hardening /softening behaviors of two types of nanolaminates, including crystalline/crystalline and crystalline/amorphous NMMs, are summarized. Finally, a brief prospect on the studies of NMMs in future is suggested.

Key words:  nanostructured metallic multilayer      micro-pillar      plastic deformation      fracture and damage      size effect
