Abstract
AbstractWe report a new method to measure the temperature-dependent coefficient of thermal expansion α(T) of thin films. The method exploits the temperature dependent buckling of clamped square plates. This buckling was investigated numerically using an energy minimization method and finite element simulations. Both approaches show excellent agreement even far away from simple critical buckling. The numerical results were used to extract Cα(T) = α0+α1(T−T0 ) of PECVD silicon nitride between 20° and 140°C with α0 = (1.803±0.006)×10−6°C−1, α1 = (7.5±0.5)×10−9 °C−2, and T0 = 25°C.
