Experimental Investigations upon the Electrical Resistance of Microcontacts

Abstract:

An important parameter in MEMS design is the electrical contact resistance. This depends on material conductibility, on the geometry of the contacting surfaces, on the applied load and on the current passing through the contact. This work aims to experimentally investigate the dependence between: electrical contact resistance and contact load force, contact resistance and contact area and contact perimeter for constant current through a microcontact.
