Annealing

Annealing is a process that can reduce residual stress in a substrate that has accumulated during prior processes such as deposition.The material is heated to high temperatures and allowed to cool at a controlled rate. This allows the material’s crystal structure to relax into a less intrinsically stressed state, and to settle into a more desirable microstructure as it cools.
