Short summary
Thin-film multilayers deposited on a wafer induce bending due to residual and thermal stresses that strongly depend on process conditions. The resulting curvature can be measured optically. We present a closed-form analytical model that relates the measured curvature to the residual stresses in individual layers. Using a small set of curvature measurements, layer-resolved residual stresses can be extracted without resource-intensive finite-element model simulations.
