(a) Design of the multilayer assumed for the derivation of model equations that are employed to analyse the depth profiles of the residual stress. The multilayer consists of two materials (phases a and b), alternately deposited on a substrate (phase c). (b) Schematic of the design of the multilayers used to demonstrate the applicability of the new measuring and evaluation strategy experimentally. The layers of phases a (TiAlN) and b (Ti) have uniform thicknesses, ta and tb, respectively. |
