The present work is focused on understanding the underlying mechanisms for stress generation and relaxation during the 2D growth of low mobility metal thin films, an issue which remains largely unexplored. Stress evolution was monitored in situ and in real time during growth of Mo-Si magnetron-sputtered films on various substrates using the substrate curvature technique. A multi-beam optical stress sensor was used, which offers a sub-monolayer sensitivity and enables to probe changes in surface/interface stress, structural transitions and defect incorporation. The results are interpreted and discussed based on microstructural analysis using ex-situ XRD, EBSD, HRTEM and AFM observations. It is shown that the stress can be tailored by changin...
