Abstract

The electrostatically actuated test structure was presented to measure the micro mechanical characteristics of micromaterials as thin films forming the microactuators. The test structure was fabricated by the surface micromachining processes and driven by the electrostatic force, In order to measure the fracture toughness, the sharp notch in the test structure was introduced by the etching process. On the basis of the beam bending theory, the elastic modulus was measured by using the microcantilevr beam and the mechanical displacement, curvature and deflection curve under the electrostatic force was evaluated by using the electrostatic structure.
