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
Diametral compression of a grooved, disc shaped specimen is used to determine fracture toughness. This method's most important features are that extremely small specimens can be used and no knowledge of material properties is needed. It is suitable for many brittle materials, e.g. glass, cemented ca
