Abstract

The basic ideas behind the calculation procedure of the developed ion beam layer removal method (ILR method) to determine complex depth profiles of residual stresses are explained. In order to give the readers an understanding of the mechanics of films on substrates and the corresponding stresses in cantilevers fabricated from such systems, the equations necessary for the calculations are explained by means of a residually stressed model system.
