Description

For studying strength properties of planar structures ITO (In2O3·SnO2)/Si the technique of Vickers pyramid microindentation for the load range of 0.2-1.5 N was applied. Measurements of microhardness of these structures have shown results varying over a wide range in dependence on film thickness and applied load, this can be explained by the size effect presence. In addition to well known factors causing the size effect, another explanation being characteristic of film structures is proposed. (author)
