Abstract

The development of low-cost go/no-go procedures for MEMS production testing is one of the main issues of MEMS manufacturability. In particular, the generation of low-cost test stimuli is a real challenge. In this paper, we investigate the generation of electrically-induced thermal stimuli to test electro-mechanical structures. Static, transient and harmonic responses are studied and it is demonstrated that they can be used for efficient detection and classification of several faulty devices.
