The microhardness of thin molybdenum films deposited on monocrystallin
e Si substrates was measured using a simple method of the extrapolatio
n to a very thick layer. The results obtained give a relatively high v
alue for the film hardness. We attempt to explain this by structural c
hanges which occur in the course of the complicated growth of the film
