Description

Method for measuring fatigue life of thin film constrained by flexible substrate
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of fatigue performance tests of thin film materials, in particular to a method for measuring fatigue life of a thin film constrained by a flexible substrate.
Background
Metallic or non-metallic thin films with substrate support are widely used for interconnect line or electrode structures in microelectronic devices. In particular, in recent years, the rapid development of flexible electronic devices has led to a great deal of attention being paid to the mechanical properties of thin films on deformable flexible substrates. When the device is repeatedly deformed by stretching, bending, twisting, or the like, the film material is inevitably subjected to cyclic load, and further fatigue damage or failure occurs. However, the experimental method for fatigue damage of thin film materials is not complete, and currently, the critical fatigue failure frequency of the materials is generally determined by measuring the physical parameter change (such as the rigidity change or the resistance change of the sample) of the sample. These methods have the disadvantages of difficult sample preparation, complicated experimental process, etc., and are not suitable for testing non-conductive non-metallic films. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a universal fatigue test method for thin film materials to simply and effectively evaluate the fatigue performance of metal or non-metal thin films and determine the fatigue life thereof.

Meanwhile, the method is easy to operate, the sample preparation is simple, and a series of critical fatigue failure strains epsilon under different loading cycles N can be obtainedcI.e. corresponding to the strain amplitude εcThe fatigue life of the film under load was N weeks. Obtained epsiloncAnd the-N curve is a film fatigue strain amplitude-life curve. The method provides a new idea for evaluating the fatigue performance of the flexible matrix film.

By the theory of the elastic beam, the external strain epsilon of each point along the length direction of the fatigue sample can be theoretically calculated when the fatigue sample is bent; strain epsilon is h/2R, wherein h is the total thickness of the film-matrix composite material, and R is the curvature radius of each point when the point is bent; the radius of curvature R can be represented by the formula
