Abstract

We have experimentally studied the phenomenon of current-induced breakage of thin (∼20-to 30-nm-thick) metal films deposited onto poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PETP) and poly(propylene) (PP) substrates. Two mechanisms leading to the current-induced breakage of the metal film are established, which are characterized by different average threshold current densities: j H ∼ 1.5 × 1010 A/m2 and j L ∼ 0.7 × 1010 A/m2. The possible nature of these mechanisms is discussed.
