21、 This international standard specifies the strip bending test method to measure tensile properties of thin films with high accuracy, repeatability, moderate effort of alignment and handling compared to the conventional tensile test. This testing method is valid for test pieces with a thickness betwe

22、en 50 nm and several m, and with an aspect ratio (ratio of length to thickness) of more than 300. The hanging strip (or bridge) between two fixed supports are widely adopted in MEMS or micro-machines. It is much easier to fabricate these strips than the conventional tensile test pieces. The test pro

23、cedures are so simple to be readily automated. This international standard can be utilized as a quality control test for MEMS production since its testing throughput is very high compared to the conventional tensile test. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable fo

NONE 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document the following terms and definitions apply

25、. 3.1 deflection w displacement of a test piece at the middle of the length, which is measured with respect to the straight line connecting two fixed ends of the test piece 3.2 deflection angle angle between the deformed test piece and the straight line connecting two fixed ends of the test piece NO

26、TE Test piece in this document is often referred to as a strip bending specimen. 4 Test apparatus 4.1 General A test apparatus is composed of an actuator, a load-sensor, a displacement sensor, and alignment mechanism as other mechanical testers such as micro-tensile tester and BS EN 62047-8:2011 6 6

27、2047-8 IEC:2011 nanoindentation apparatus. A test piece in a form of strip is very compliant and experiences large deflection under a small load when comparing it with a micro-tensile test piece with similar dimensions. In this respect, the load-sensor should have an excellent resolution and the dis

28、placement sensor should have a long measuring range. Details on each component of test apparatus are described as follows. 4.2 Actuator All actuating devices that are capable of linear movement can be used for the test, e.g. piezoelectric actuator, voice coil actuator, servo motor, etc. However, a d

29、evice with fine displacement resolution is highly recommended due to small dimensions of the test piece. The resolution shall be better than 1/1 000 of maximum deflection of test piece. 4.3 Load tip The load tip which applies a line contact force to the test piece is shaped like a conventional wedge

30、 type indenter tip and can be made of diamond, sapphire or other hard materials. The radius of the tip shall be comparable to or larger than the thickness of the test piece, and less than L/50 (refer to Annex C.3). 4.4 Alignment mechanism The load tip shall be installed on the test apparatus aligned

31、 with the load and the displacement measuring axes, and the misalignment shall be less than 1 degree. The load tip shall be also aligned to the surface of the test piece with the deviation angles less than 1 degree (refer to Annex C for definition of deviation angles and error estimation of misalign

32、ment). It is desirable to equip the apparatus with tilt stages for adjusting the deviation angle. The load tip is to be positioned at the centre of the test piece and the positional accuracy shall be less than L/100. 4.5 Force and displacement sensors Force and displacement sensors shall have resolu

33、tions better than 1/1 000 of the maximum force and deflection during the test. The accuracy of the sensors shall be within 1 % of the range. The displacement sensors can be capacitive type, LVDT type, or optical type with acceptable resolution and accuracy. In practice, the deflection can be measure

34、d from the motion of the load tip using a capacitive sensor or from the deflection of the test piece using an optical method. 4.6 Test environment It is recommended to perform a test under constant temperature and humidity. Temperature change can induce thermal drift during deflection measurement. T

35、he temperature change or thermal drift shall be checked before and after the test. 5 Test piece 5.1 General The test piece shall be prepared by using the same fabrication process as the actual device fabrication. To minimize the size effect of a test piece, the structure and size of the test piece s

36、hall be similar to those of the device components. There are many fabrication methods of the test piece depending on the applications. As an example, the fabrication of the test piece based on MEMS process is described in Annex B. A lot of strip bending test pieces can be fabricated on a die or a su

37、bstrate. BS EN 62047-8:201162047-8 IEC:2011 7 5.2 Shape of test piece The shape of test piece and symbols are given in Figure 1 and Table 1, respectively. The test piece shall be designed to minimize the bending moment effect. In order to minimize the effect, the maximum deflection shall be more tha

38、n 40 times the thickness of the test piece, and the length of the test piece shall be more than 300 times the thickness of the test piece, and the width shall be more than 10 times the thickness of the test piece, and the length shall be 10 times larger than the width. The thickness of the substrate

39、 shall be more than 500 times that of the test piece. The dimension of the substrate is limited by the capacity of the test apparatus. The geometry of the fixed ends supporting the test piece can affect the test results. When etching the sacrificial layer and the supporting substrate of test pieces,

40、 the region beneath the test pieces can be over-etched, and this is called by under-cut. The under-cut at the fixed ends shall be minimized (anisotropic etching would be desirable rather than isotropic etching).

42、 properties of test materials. The length (2L), width (B), and thickness (h) shall be measured with very high accuracy with less than 5 % error. Useful information on thickness measurement can be found in Annex C of 11and in Clause 6 of 2. 1Figures in square brackets refer to the Bibliography. IEC 4

43、99/11 BS EN 62047-8:2011 8 62047-8 IEC:2011 6 Test procedure and analysis 6.1 General a) The substrate containing test pieces is attached to a sample holder. There are some recommendable methods for the sample attachment, such as magnetic attachment, electrostatic gripping, adhesive gluing, etc. b)

44、The translational and angular misalignment between the load tip and the test piece can affect the test results (refer to Figure C.2), and should be checked using an optical microscope. The misalignment error and the guideline for alignment are described in Annex C. c) It is necessary to determine su

45、rface location of a test piece at the beginning of the test. The surface location is the position of the top surface of the test piece in the vertical direction when the strip deforms by the vertical movement of the load tip. This surface location can be determined by optical inspection using an opt

46、ical microscope, or be determined by three successive indents. When the load tip touches the strip, the slight change in the strip configuration can be observed and identified using the optical microscope. The detailed method for determining the surface location using three successive indents is des

47、cribed in A.3. d) The test is performed under a constant displacement rate until the strip ruptures. The displacement rate of sL / 10 4 or sL / 10 3 is recommended, which leads to the strain rate of approximately s /10 15 or s /10 14 , respectively when the strain reaches 0,5 %. This method applies

48、to strain rate insensitive materials since the strain rate changes during the test. 6.2 Data analysis To obtain an actual force and deflection data of a test piece from the experimental results, several compensations may be required depending on the test apparatus. As an example, the data analysis p

49、rocedures are described in Annex A for the case of a nanoindentation apparatus. These procedures can provide useful information for other types of apparatus. From the force and deflection measurements, stress and strain can be estimated by the following Equations (1) and (2). The equations are derived on the assumptions of negligible bending moment effect and uniform strain throughout the test piece 1-3. See Figure 2. F 2Bh sin= , (1
