Abstract

A model calculates the compliance of elastic contact between a punch and bilayer, the latter consisting of a transversely isotropic film on top of isotropic substrate. Used in data analysis, the model helps estimate the Young’s modulus of amorphous silicon (100±20 GPa) layers within amorphous silicon/aluminum multilayer composites deposited on silicon.
