Abstract :
The paper deals with a characterization method for MEMS devices based on the combination of measurement and simulation results. The aim of this method is to determine geometrical parameters and built-in mechanical stress in MEMS. The method is introduced by the example of an electrostatically actuated micro mirror array. Accuracy of geometrical parameters definition is about 1-2 %. Mechanical deformations are determined with a resolution of 1-2 MPa.
