Abstract

Measurement of stress in CVD diamond by Raman spectroscopy and by the substrate curvature method is discussed. A correction to the commonly applied Stoney thin-film equation for the substrate curvature technique is presented for coatings with a large stiffness mismatch with the substrate. Stress measurement by Raman spectroscopy is complicated by factors such as temperature, domain size, non-hydrostatic stress, and degeneracy lifting. With proper consideration of these complicating factors, substrate curvature and Raman spectroscopy stress measurement results can be reconciled with the predictions based on thermal modeling.
