Method for Monitoring Surface Stress.

Abstract

A piece of single crystal silicon is embedded in a material such that the silicon is flush with the surface thereof. The silicon is illuminated with infrared radiation having a wavelength in the range of 800-1100 nanometers. Isochromatic fringe patterns projected from the silicon are monitored as a direct indication of the amount of stress experienced at the surface.
