摘要
The MEMS manufacturing processes brought into play material stackings as different as metals, insulators (oxides) and semi conductors. These devices are generally the center point of high residual stresses which can entail damages to devices during development or in field applications. The evaluation of these stresses is thus an essential stage in the search for solutions to improve mechanical toughness and performance of these MEMS. In this paper, we set down an analytical model to determine the gradient of stress present in the layers of suspended structures and the related validation by X-ray micro-diffraction.
