Abstract
We have used intense pulsed electron beams to examine the transient thermal stress response of thin silicon carbide films on aluminum substrates. We examine one widely used process for improving thin film adhesion: deposition of thermal-expansion matched intermediate layers. Rutherford backscattering spectra show the composition of the surface as a function of depth and illustrate the role of the intermediate layer in improving thin film adhesion.
