Abstract
For an accurate measurement of the material behavior of small structures, a new optical experimental technique is proposed to measure the deformation. The test method uses the dual microscope that can measure the relative deformation of two adjacent regions. The magnified view is captured by CCD cameras and the relative deformation can be measured by the pattern matching and tracing method. Using this experimental technique, the deformation of solder joints in electronic packaging and the strain of the nickel thin film are measured.
