This volume is a compilation of papers presented at the 1990 Spring Meeting of the Materials Research Society in a symposium entitled Thin Films: Stresses and Mechanical Properties II. As indicated by the title, the symposium was the second in a series, the first of which was held at the Fall Meeting in 1988. The importance of thin film mechanical properties is now recognized to the extent that basic characterization techniques such as microindentation and thin film stress measurement are performed routinely, and new characterization techniques are being developed on a daily basis. Many of the papers in the symposium dealt with the developments in these characterization methods and their application to a broad spectrum of materials such as compositionally modulated structures, ion implanted materials, optical coatings, and the numerous metals, ceramics and organics used in semiconductor device manufacture.
