Control of local stress in semiconductor silicon structures by S. F. Sianko, V. A. Zelenin

“…This method is based on consequent measurements of intensity of Makyoh image elements of the structure along the chosen direction followed by calculation of micro-geometrical profile and curvature radius.The estimation of residual stress of topological elements Si–SiO system was carried out by means of calculation of interference pictures obtained in a film-substrate gap after separating of film edge from substrate along open window perimeter.Analytical expressions relating semiconductor structure image characteristics with their deformation were developed by means of finite elements method. The expressions allow determining of local residual stress of chosen area of the structure. …”
