20 kHz X-ray diffraction on Cu thin films explores thermomechanical fatigue at high strain-rates by T. Ziegelwanger, M. Reisinger, B. Vedad, K. Hlushko, S. Van Petegem, J. Todt, M. Meindlhumer, J. Keckes

“…Heating the Cu film for 500°C at the rapid heating rate of 106 K/s induced a compressive stress of up to –276 MPa, which is almost five times higher than the values measured using the wafer curvature method at the heating rate of 10−1 K/s. Repeated heating pulses between 100–400°C, with a pulse length of 200 µs, led to thermomechanical fatigue in the Cu thin films. …”
