The deposited samples were annealed in rapid thermal annealing (RTA) furnace at 300 and 350℃ for various periods. The mechanical properties of electroless Ni-P film on Fe/Au/Si substrate deposits were studied by using nanoindentation measurements. The results show that hardness (H) and reduced elastic modulus (Er) of as-deposited samples drastic decrease as plating time increase in the initial stage and become smooth at latter stage for as-deposited samples. The hardness is about 6.5GPa for pH 5.0 for 192sec and for pH 5.4 for 160 se. For 300℃ annealed samples, the hardness (H) and reduced elastic modulus (Er) of samples increase as plating time increase, the H maximum is 9.92Gpa for pH5.4 annealing 30 min, the Er maximum is 156.01GPa for pH5.0 annealing 30min. For 350℃ annealed samples, the hardness (H) and reduced elastic modulus (Er) of samples decrease as plating time increase. The H maximum value is 11.32GPa for pH4.6 annealing 10 min and the Er maximum value is 168GPa for pH5.0 annealing 5min.
