A thin film deposited on a substrate can be either in tensile stress or<br />

compressive stress; if stress is too large, film may peel away from<br />

Figure <strong>12</strong>.30 The change in wafer deflection may be used to<br />

measure the stress in a deposited layer. This is typically measured<br />

using a reflected laser beam.
