Abstract
In this paper, we tried to figure out the residual stress of Electroless Nickel (EN) films as a function of process conditions: bath temperatures, pH values, and hypophosphorous acid concentrations. The residual stresses of EN films were in the range of - 4 MPa to 250 MPa depending on process conditions and they were very sensitive to phosphorous concentration in EN film and also hypophosphorous acid concentrations in EN bath.
