Abstract

Coherent Gradient Sensing (CGS) is a full-field optical technique that produces real-time images of macroscopic wafer curvature, which, for thin films, can be related to stress through Stoney's equation. Here we describe the use of CGS as an in situ diagnostic to observe film stress distributions during chemical vapor deposition. The application of this method to measure oxygen diffusion rates in thin film YBa2Cu3O6+δ(YBCO) and stresses in thin film PbxBa1-xTiO3 (PBT) under chemical vapor deposition (CVD) conditions will be discussed.
