摘要
This paper describes tensile testing of thin films, such as single crystal silicon, polysilicon, silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, and metals. These films are used as mechanical structures in MEMS devices, which are strongly requested to evaluate their reliability before they become products. Thin film tensile tester equipped with an electrostatic grip system has been developed in order to test specimen that has same dimensions and was fabricated by the same process as those of application devices. Various properties have been revealed using the tester, such as fracture origin investigated from the statistical analysis, fracture mechanism from. the environmental effect on strength, and strength of nanometer thick films.
