摘要：

Based on the condition of dislocation formation, the present work calculated the critical thickness of Cu thin films on different orientations of the silicon substrate. The results show that critical thickness of Cu thin films is maximum in which the film-substrate interface is the {111} crystal plane and minimum in which the film-substrate interface is the {112} crystal plane. The effect of substrate orientation on critical thickness was discussed with theories of strain energy and interface energy.
