Abstract
The amorphous alumna films deposited by the chemical-vapor depositionmethod were annealed at 600 ゚C. After anneal treatment, microcracking was recognized on the surface of the films. The microcracking occurred at 300 ゚C. In addition, desorption of water was observed at 300 ゚C and higher. The microcraking occurs by the volume reduction of the film with desorption of water.
