초록

The thermal expansion coefficient, which causes the micro failure at the interfacial state of thin films is necessary to consider for proper designing MEMS. The effect of temperature on the coefficient of thermal expansion(CTE) of $SiO_2$ and $Si_3N_4$ film was investigated. Thermal strain induced by mismatch of CTE between substrate and thin film continuously measured with resolution-improved electronic speckle pattern interferometry(ESPI). The thermal stress induced by mismatch of CTE derivate through thermal strain. The thermal expansion coefficients of thin film were calculated with the general equation of CTE and thermal stress in thin films, and it confirmed that CTE of $SiO_2$changed from $0.25{\times}10^{-6}/^{\circ}C$ to $1.4{\times}10^{-6}/^{\circ}C$ with temperature increasing from 50 to $600^{\circ}C$
