me fracture toughness of three Sic-materials was determined using specimens with straight-through notches and Chevron notches as well as specimens with Knoop-indentation cracks. The different procedures and results are compared and special effects such as crack-healing and crack surface interactions
This paper describes the design and fabrication of a series of test structures for measuring the fracture toughness of brittle thin films, with application to low-pressure chemical-vapor-deposited (LPCVD) Si3N4 and low-stress, silicon-rich LPCVD SixNy. Crack-initiating features are patterned in clam
