A thermal stress model is developed to simulate stresses produced in the processing of thin film metal inks due to arbitrary time dependent temperature variations through the film stack. The current model employs and extends the method developed by Hsueh (2002), which models stresses in thin films where the temperature of each layer in the film stack was assumed to be uniform at a temperature different...
