説明

Abstract The fatigue behavior of polysilicon thin films was investigated under three different environmental conditions, i.e., air with relative humidity 80% at 22 °C, inert nitrogen gas at 22 °C and 180 °C. A new evaluation technique was utilized, where the experiment applying a stress amplitude gradually increased with the number of fatigue cycles was combined with a statistical analysis using an equivalent fatigue crack extension model on the basis of Paris’ well-known law. The parameter values in Paris’ law for relative humidity 80% to control fatigue behavior were found to lie close to those obtained previously with conventional fatigue tests with constant stress amplitudes, when a sufficiently slow increasing rate of stress amplitude was applied. The fracture stress level appeared to be smaller than the static strength even in nitrogen gas at 22 °C, which suggested that fatigue damage was introduced by repeated loading even under an inert environment. Fatigue damage was observed to be more significant at a higher temperature (180 °C) in the same nitrogen gas atmosphere, which is an evidence of the contribution of intrinsic defects on the fatigue behavior.
