  • Abstract
    This research uses spiral microstructures to measure both the residual mean normal stress and gradient stress of the thin films for MEMS devices based on analytical solutions. The geometric or dimensional deformations are utilized to determine the residual stresses. ANSYS simulation and experiments are conducted to verify the measurement.
