Abstract

Nanoindentation has been used to characterize polycrystalline silicon serpentine structures which will become the 'framework' for piezoelectric meander line microactuators. These structures are fabricated using silicon wafer surface micromachining processing techniques, and they are suspended about 1 micron above the wafer surface.
