Experimental and theoretical/numerical investigations of thin films bonding strength

A laser spallation facility has been developed to measure the strength of planar interfaces between a substrate and a thin coating. This quantity is a central requirement in contemporary thin film and protective coatings technology and its successful measurement should improve the scientific/technological potential for the design of advanced composites, protective coatings of composites that operate in hostile environments, and in joining of dissimilar materials. The technique involves impinging a laser pulse of ultra short duration on the rear surface of the substrate, which is coated by a thin layer of energy absorbing metal such as Sn and Pb. The explosive evaporation of the metallic layer, confined between a fused quartz crystal and the substrate, induces a compressive shock wave, which propagates through the substrate toward the material interface. Upon reflection from the free surface of the coating, the pressure pulse is converted into a tensile wave which, under certain conditions, can lead to spallation at the interface. It is shown by mathematical simulation that atomic bond rupture is the mechanism of separation in this experiment. Since the interaction of laser energy with matter is a complicated, highly non-linear process, our investigations, at first, were based on measurement of the pressure pulse generated by the threshold flux level that leads to spallation, by using a micro-electronics device with a piezo-electric crystal, and on computation of the tensile stress experienced at the material interface, by numerical simulation of the induced stress wave propagation. Several substrate/coating (ceramic/ceramic and ceramic/metal) systems have been investigated such as, 1–15 μm SiC by CVD, 1–4 μm TiC and TiN by PVD coatings on sapphire substrates, as well as 1–2 μm Au, Sn and Ag coatings by sputtering on sapphire, fused quartz and glass substrates. For identically prepared specimens, the measured threshold energy levels are reproducible, thus leading to reproducible bond strength values, while the spall size, as expected, is dependent on the laser pulse energy level. Finally, the bond strength values obtained are in very good agreement with similar data derived by direct experimental techniques based on Laser-Doppler-Interferometry.     

Numerical approach to pulsed laser heating of semi-infinite aluminum substance

Processing of the reflective materials, such as aluminum, with a pulsed CO₂ laser beam depends largely on laser output power and pulse form. To enhance the understanding of the effect of pulse parameters on laser machining a modeling of laser induced heating is essential. The present study develops the heat transfer model allowing temporal variation of CO₂ laser output pulse, phase change process and temperature dependent thermal properties. A numerical technique is introduced to solve the resulting heat transfer equation. Aluminum is selected as workpiece and its surface reflectivity is taken into account in the computation. Thermal integration due to repetitive pulsing is also discussed. It is found that time corresponding to maximum temperature can be predicted by proper selection of pulsed parameters and the ability of the material to follow the laser pulse profile depends upon the pulse shape.     

Thermo-mechanical solution of film/substrate systems under local thermal load and application to laser lift-off of GaN/sapphire structures

Film/substrate structures may undergo a localized thermal load, which can induce stresses, deformation and defects. In this paper, we present the solutions of temperature and stresses in a film/substrate structure under a local thermal load on the film surface. Then, the generalized Stoney formula, which connects the curvature of deformation and the stress field is obtained. The present solution takes into account the non-uniformity of the temperature field both in the width and thickness directions of the film. The thermo-mechanical solution is applied to the analysis of the temperature distribution, stresses, and damage of a GaN/sapphire system during the laser lift-off (LLO) process. It is shown that the laser with the Gaussian distribution of energy density causes much smaller tensile stresses at the edge of the heated area in the film than the laser with the uniform distribution of energy density, and thus can avoid damage to the GaN films separated from the substrate.     

Tensile and mixed-mode strength of a thin film-substrate interface under laser induced pulse loading

Laser induced stress waves are used to characterize intrinsic interfacial strength of thin films under both tensile and mixed-mode conditions. A short-duration compressive pulse induced by pulsed-laser ablation of a sacrificial layer on one side of a substrate is allowed to impinge upon a thin test film on the opposite surface. Laser-interferometric measurements of test film displacement enable calculation of the stresses generated at the interface. The tensile stress at the onset of failure is taken to be the intrinsic tensile strength of the interface. Fused-silica substrates, with their negative nonlinear elasticity, cause the compressive stress wave generated by the pulse laser to evolve a decompression shock, critical for generation of the fast fall times needed for significant loading of surface film interfaces. By allowing the stress pulse to mode convert as it reflects from an oblique surface, a high amplitude shear wave with rapid fall time is generated and used to realize mixed-mode loading of thin film interfaces. We report intrinsic strengths of an aluminum/fused silica interface under both tensile and mixed-mode conditions. The failure mechanism under mixed-mode loading differs significantly from that observed under pure tensile loading, resulting in a higher interfacial strength for the mixed-mode case. Inferred strengths are found to be independent, as they should be, of experimental parameters.     

Instationary conjugate optical-thermal fields in thin films due to pulsed laser heating: A comparison between back and front treatment

Manufacturing of multilayer thin films deposited on a glass substrate can be accomplished by means of pulsed laser sources. Thermal and optical nonlinearities are induced during transient heating, since the response of weakly absorbing thin films depends on the temperature. The heat source can either directly impinge the film surface,␣front treatment, or the glass substrate, back treatment. In this paper a one-dimensional conjugate non-linear thermal-optical time dependent problem is numerically analysed. The investigation is accomplished in order to compare the two processes. For a Nd-YAG laser with wavelength of 1064 nm, a a-Si/TCO and Al/a-Si/TCO multilayers are investigated. Results are presented in form of spatial and temporal temperature profiles as well as absorbed heat transfer rates inside the layers. The accomplished analysis clearly shows that the back treatment is more efficient in terms of manufacturing process, oriented to the production of photovoltaic cells.

A parametric study of laser induced thin film spallation

We report parametric studies of elastic wave generation by a pulsed laser and associated spalling of thin surface films by the corresponding high stresses. Two different substrate materials, single crystal Si (100) and fused silica, are considered. Spallation behavior of Al thin films is investigated as a function of substrate thickness, film thickness, laser energy, and various parameters governing the source. Surface displacement due to the stress wave is measured by Michaelson interferometry and used to infer the stresses on the film interface. Consistent with previous studies, the maximum stress in the substrate and at the film/substrate interface increases with increasing laser fluence. For many of the conditions tested, the substrate stress is large enough to damage the Si. Moreover, the maximum interface stress is found to increase with increasing film thickness, but decrease with increasing substrate thickness due to geometric attenuation. Of particular significance is the development of a decompression shock in the fused sillica substrates, which results in very high tensile stresses at the interface. This shock enhances the failure of thin film interfaces, especially in thicker samples.     

Pulsed laser heating – Fourier and electron kinetic theory approaches

Laser surface pulse heating of engineering metals is in demand in the metal industry and investigation into laser pulse heating becomes fruitful in this regard. Application of Fourier theory to heat conduction due to high power laser irradiation may give closed form solution to the problem. On the other hand, the heat flux through a given plane depends on the electron energy distribution through the material and at the scale of distance required to examine the problem, the material can no longer be considered as being homogeneous continuum, therefore, errors may occur when considering the Fourier theory in laser heating process. The problem requires to be examined in the quantum field. The present study examines the pulse laser heating process when considering both Fourier conduction and electron-kinetic theory approaches. Analytical solution to Fourier conduction equation is obtained for intensity exponential pulses while numerical scheme is introduced to solve the heat transfer equation resulted from kinetic theory approach. It is found that both Fourier and electron kinetic theory approaches result in similar temperature profiles for the pulses having the same energy content. In the case of electron kinetic theory approach the rise time for surface temperature to reach the melting point is shorter than that obtained from the analytical solution.

Bloch–Maxwell treatment of amplification of high harmonic seed in soft x-ray laser amplifiers in both direct and chirped amplifications

Seeding plasma-based soft x-ray laser (SXRL) demonstrated diffraction-limited, fully coherent in space and in time beam but with energy not exceeding 1 μJ per pulse. Quasi-steady-state (QSS) plasmas demonstrated to be able to store high amount of energy and then amplify incoherent SXRL up to several mJ. Using 1D time-dependant Bloch–Maxwell model including amplification of noise, we demonstrated that femtosecond HHG cannot be efficiently amplified in QSS plasmas. However, using Chirped Pulse Amplification concept on HHG seed allows to extract most of the stored energy, reaching up to 5 mJ in fully coherent pulses that can be compressed down to 130 fs.
