Abstract :
In this study, the polysilicon microcantilever beams are successfully fabricated and fully suspended. The results of fatigue life in bending are obtained by both microactuator testing method, MTS testing machine and piezoelectric system. The experimental data shows that the larger stress reduces the fatigue life.
