Stess in Wordentec deposited Nickel films

Section is under construction.


Thin films of Ni has tensile stress. It was examined if there is a difference in stress in Wordentec deposited Ni films and the result is presented here.

The rate was changed between the depositions, in most cases 200 nm of Ni was deposited.
