Abstract

We demonstrate a new purely optical based method for the excitation and detection of acoustic and thermal disturbances in thin films. This technique is applied to the determination of the viscoelastic properties of supported and unsupported and silicon supported polyimide thin (≈1 micron) films. We show how this technique can be used to detect film delamination and suggest how it may be used to probe film-substrate adhesion quality.
