Abstract

Production of thin (10 to 200 microns thick) metallic (Cu, Co and Ni-P) foils is performed by electrodeposition on various substrates. A competition between substrate-induced and electroplating-induced inhibition of crystal growth appears. Film structures observed by SEM, TEM and X-Ray diffraction are related to the mechanical properties of the films (stress-strain curves, microhardness and work hardening bend test).

In some cases, copper thin films with a large number of submicron crystals are obtained. These films recrystallize at room temperature and their mechanical properties are completely modified by this ageing process.
