Tensile Testing of MEMS Materials at High Temperatures

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents three kinds of high-temperature test methods for three different materials along with the results. Resistively heated polysilicon film 3.5 micron thick shows ductile behavior at 500°C. Resistively heated nickel 200 microns thick shows decreasing strength at 400°C. Furnace heated silicon carbide 200 microns thick maintains its strength at 1000°C. Strain is measured by laser-based interferometry in the first two cases to obtain complete stress-strain curves, while force-displacement is measured in the third case.
