Popis: Thin bilayer films of copper metal on titanium were sputter deposited on oxidized silicon wafers and annealed in vacuum and hydrogen ambients. Annealing in vacuum caused the bilayers to fail in tension, while the hydrogen annealed films did not fail. This observation is explained as stress generated due to crystal lattice volume changes and thermal expansion coefficients.
