A test apparatus for applying shear loads to a deposit on a substrate comprises a cantilevered shear tool (18) having a tip (24) for contact with the deposit, and a back face having a piezo-electric crystal thereon. In use, the back face is subject to a compressive force, as well as other forces, and a corresponding electrical output from said crystal which is proportional to those forces. In one embodiment, the portion of the shear tool which contacts the deposit is offset rearwardly from the front face of the shear tool to improve the accuracy of the signal produced by the piezo-electric crystal. The apparatus is useful in testing the strength of bonds between deposits and substrates typically found in semiconductor devices.

The method for testing burnishing tape includes placing the tape on a backing surface and applying a force normal to the abrasive surface of the tape in a localized area of the tape surface. Thereafter, an increasing pulling force is applied to the end of the tape up to a point where the tape moves under the effect of the normal force. Through prior burnishing tape product testing a known normal force N is determined and a delamination pulling force D is likewise determined, such that a burnishing tape can be said to be defective where it is placed under a normal force N and the pulling force required to move it is less than the delamination pulling force D. The values of N and D are determinable for different types of burnishing tape and thereafter utilizable to test further quantities of similar burnishing tape. The testing device of the present invention includes a tape supporting plate, a force gauge for applying a known normal force N to the abrasive surface of the burnishing tape disposed on the plate, and a variable torque motor with a torque sensor that is utilized to apply a known variable pulling force to the tape, such that the pulling force required to move the tape under the normal force N can be determined and then compared to the predetermined delamination force D. Where the pulling force required to move the tape is less than D the tape is determined to be defective, whereas when the pulling force required to move the tape is greater than D the bonding strength of the abrasive layer of the burnishing tape is determined to be adequate such that the burnishing tape can be confidently utilized to burnish hard disk surfaces.

A nanoindentation apparatus is used to measure adhesion strength of a hard, thin film to a soft substrate. A variably increasing load is applied to the indenter tip. The indenter tip penetrates into the thin film at a first penetration rate and causes the thin film to sink into the substrate thus causing a tensile stress at the film substrate interface. At a critical value of the applied load, the stress at the interface exceeds the delamination value, and the thin film partially delaminates from the substrate. This causes the indenter tip to sink into the softer substrate at a sudden second, higher penetration rate. A sensor detects the applied load and the indenter tip penetration depth at this point. A computer flags the critical value of the applied load that corresponds to the increased penetration depth rate at the point of delamination of the film. The computer then calculates the critical stress required for delamination and the adhesion strength between the film and the substrate from the critical value of the applied load. The depth sensing indentation technique measurement may be carried out on a thin film integrated test element so as not to damage the rest of the thin film. The method allows non-destructive in-situ adhesion strength measurements for thin films and microelectronic devices.

A procedure and apparatus for testing the hot tack properties of heat sealable flexible packaging materials. A portion of a test strip of heat sealable material is lapped and a segment of this portion heat sealed together. Upon completion of the heat seal the unsealed ends of the test strip are pulled apart at a prescribed constant rate to gradually delaminate the heat seal while the heat seal is cooled at a prescribed rate. Force required to delaminate the seal is continuously recorded as a function of time as the heat seal cools, thus providing data on seal strength for a full range of temperatures of the heat seal as it cools over time. In the apparatus a threading bar intercepts the strip intermediate its ends and pulls a portion through the opening between opposed dies of a heat sealer and in doing so laps the portion of the strip pulled through the opening. The test strip is then liberated from the threading bar during or following heat sealing of the lapped portion, as by cutting the strip at the threader.

A device for quantitatively measuring adherence of thin films provides a first substrate having an upper surface and a second substrate having a surface coplanar therewith. The second substrate is spaced on all sides from the first substrate by a cavity. The thin film is suspended over the cavity and adhered to the surfaces of the two substrates. A characteristic length of the area of the surface of the second substrate to which the film is adhered is made small relative to the characteristic length of the cavity. A pressure differential is applied across the thickness of the film such that the film debonds from the surface of the second substrate. Mechanical characteristics of the debonding of the film are observed and measured. The characteristics are thereafter related to provide a quantitative measurement of adherence of the thin film to the second substrate. A measurement of relative adherence between different films is obtained by testing a multilayered film structure. Other layers of various materials may be used to define a smaller area of adherence to which the film may be adhered.
