[0052] Example 2
[0053] Based on the measuring device described in Example 1, the embodiment of the present invention introduces a method for measuring the Young's modulus of a MEMS double-layer film, including:
[0054] S01: Obtain the horizontal displacement values s1, s2 and s3 of the three divisions respectively;
[0055] Among them, get the horizontal displacement value s of a certain division k The steps include:
[0056] The first metal electrode is grounded, and the second metal electrode is connected to a high potential, so that the thermal actuator structure pushes the displacement measurement structure to move in the direction of the double-layer cantilever beam structure;
[0057] The resistance between the first metal electrode and the third metal electrode is monitored in real time. When the contact electrode of the displacement measurement structure contacts the beam to be measured of the double-layer cantilever beam structure, the monitored resistance changes from infinity to a finite value. The horizontal displacement value s displayed by the displacement measurement structure at this time is read. k ; The horizontal displacement value s k is the moving distance of the moving tooth of the kth division compared to the initial state;
[0058] S02: Based on the geometric dimensions of the measuring device and the horizontal displacement values s1, s2 and s3 of the three parts, the Young's modulus E1 and E2 of the double-layer film are obtained by solving the equation group; the equation group is expressed as follows:
[0059]
[0060] in, Respectively represent the width of the second layer of the beam to be measured in the three divisions, and the width of the first layer of the beam to be measured in the three divisions is ; represents the intrinsic strain difference of the double-layer film; L represents the length of the beam to be measured, that is, the length of the double-layer film; d represents the horizontal initial spacing between the displacement measurement structure and the double-layer cantilever beam structure.
[0061] Specifically, for ease of understanding, the theoretical principle of the measurement method proposed in the present invention is explained:
[0062] Taking the second section of the measuring device mentioned in the present invention as an example, the width of the bottom layer 101-1 of the beam to be measured is , the width of the top layer 101-2 of the beam to be tested is ; The distance z between the neutral plane of the beam 101 to be measured and the lower surface of the beam in the double-layer cantilever beam structure c It can be expressed as:
[0063]
[0064] in, represent the Young's modulus of the beam 101 to be measured, i.e., the first layer and the second layer of the double-layer film, respectively;
[0065] Under the action of the intrinsic stress difference, the beam 101 to be tested bends, and its equivalent bending stiffness is It can be calculated using the following formula:
[0066]
[0067] in, are the cross-sectional inertia moments of the first and second layers of the double-layer film, , Ai is the cross-sectional area of the i-th film, z represents the distance between a certain point on the film cross section and the lower surface of the beam;
[0068] The bending moment acting on the beam 101 to be tested is:
[0069]
[0070] Here, Δε is the intrinsic strain difference of the bilayer film.
[0071] The radius of curvature, r2, of a beam bend is given by:
[0072]
[0073] Substituting formula (2) and formula (3) into formula (4), we can get:
[0074]
[0075] Similarly, the curvature radius r1 of the double-layer cantilever beam structure in the first section and the curvature radius r3 of the double-layer cantilever beam in the third section can be expressed as:
[0076]
[0077] Based on the above principle, this embodiment provides a method for measuring the Young's modulus of a MEMS double-layer film. The specific measurement process is as follows:
[0078] First, perform the following operations on each of the three divisions:
[0079] The first metal electrode 211 is grounded, and the second metal electrode 213 is connected to a high potential, so as to electrically heat the Z-type thermal actuator. At this time, the thermal actuator structure pushes the movable tooth 301 and the contact electrode 304 to move toward the cantilever beam.
[0080] At the same time, the resistance between the first metal electrode 211 and the third metal electrode 103 is monitored. When the contact electrode 304 contacts the beam 101 to be measured, the monitored resistance changes from infinity to a finite value, and the horizontal displacement value s displayed by the vernier ruler (displacement measurement structure) is read. k ; The horizontal displacement value s k is the moving distance of the moving tooth of the kth division compared to the initial state;
[0081] For example, if the first tooth from left to right in the first comb tooth assembly of the movable tooth 301 is aligned with the first fixed tooth A from left to right in the comb tooth assembly A of the first fixed tooth 302, then s k =Δ, where k=1, 2, 3. If the second tooth from left to right of the first comb tooth assembly in the movable tooth 301 is aligned with the second fixed tooth A from left to right of the comb tooth assembly A in the first fixed tooth 302, then s k =2Δ, and so on. If at this time the mth tooth from left to right in the first comb tooth assembly of the movable tooth 301 is aligned with the mth fixed tooth A from left to right in the comb tooth assembly A of the first fixed tooth 302, then s k =mΔ; Similarly, if the first tooth of the second comb tooth assembly from left to right is aligned with the first fixed tooth B of the comb tooth assembly B from left to right in the second fixed tooth 303, then s k =(m+1)Δ, if at this time the second tooth of the second comb tooth assembly from left to right is aligned with the second fixed tooth B of the comb tooth assembly B from left to right in the second fixed tooth 303, then s k =(m+2)Δ, and so on. If the mth tooth of the second comb tooth assembly from left to right is aligned with the mth fixed tooth B of the comb tooth assembly B from left to right in the second fixed tooth 303, then s k =2mΔ.
[0082] Based on the above steps, the horizontal displacement values s1, s2 and s3 of the three parts are obtained.
[0083] Under the action of the intrinsic stress difference, the double-layer cantilever beam (beam to be tested 101) bends and presents an arc shape. The arc length is the beam length L. Assume that the arc length of the contact point where the k-th section beam to be tested 101 contacts the contact electrode 304 is L k , according to the geometric relationship of the cantilever beam structure after bending, we can get:
[0084]
[0085] Solving formula (8) and formula (9), we can get the radius of curvature :
[0086]
[0087] in, represents the curvature radius of the k-th section of the beam 101 to be tested;
[0088] Substituting formula (10) into formulas (5), (6) and (7) yields
[0089]
[0090] Based on the geometric dimensions of the measuring device and the horizontal displacement values s1, s2 and s3 of the three sections, the Young's moduli E1 and E2 of the double-layer film are calculated by solving equation group (11).
[0091] The embodiments of the present invention are described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned specific implementation methods. The above-mentioned specific implementation methods are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Under the enlightenment of the present invention, ordinary technicians in this field can also make many forms without departing from the scope of protection of the purpose of the present invention and the claims, which all fall within the protection of the present invention.
