Abstract

A novel single crystalline silicon diamond-shaped atomic force microscope (AFM) cantilever for accurate mechanical tests of MEMS structures is presented. A strip bending test of micromachined gold thin film strip specimens has been performed using the proposed AFM cantilever. The experimental results show that a more accurate and uniform bending test is possible with this new cantilever by suppressing lateral motions of a conventional beam-shaped cantilever.
