Abstract
Laser-ultrasonic methods to measure thin-film elastic properties have been developed. Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) were generated by a 0.2 ns pulsed laser and detected by a line-focused Michelson Interferometer with a -3 dB bandwidth of 800 MHz. Waveforms at several propagation distances were used to determine the SAW dispersion relation for a series of titanium nitride film samples. The measurements can be related to thin-film elastic properties using theoretical models.Proceedings Title
