Adhesion strength between sputtered Ti thin films and Si substrate has
been evaluated by using an internal stress in Ni thin films deposited
onto the Ti thin films. The adhesion of the Ni film to the Ti film is
very strong and the internal stress in the Ni film was found to be la
rge enough to peel off the Ti film from the Si substrates. The tensile
stress generated by the internal stress in the Ni film at the interfa
ce between the Ti film and the Si substrate was evaluated by finite el
ement method. By this method, it became clear that when the value of t
he Ni film internal stress times the Ni film thickness was 150 N/m, th
e corresponding tensile stress at the interface was 10 MPa and this st
ress was enough to peel off the Ti film on an Ar ion bombarded Si subs
trate.
