Abstract
The influence of ion-plasma treatment on residual stress in the microcantilever is investigated. The ability of treatment with energy below the sputtering threshold to affect the mechanical stress is shown. It is also demonstrated that a preliminary vacuum thermal annealing of samples reduces the influence of ion bombardment on the residual stress. With the increase of the annealing temperature the effect of ion bombardment disappears.
