β¦ Synopsis
a b s t r a c t
Only a few works on fatigue behavior of thin films under tension-tension loading can be found because of some limitations of a testing system. In this study, a fatigue testing system capable of performing load controlled tension-tension fatigue tests even for ductile thin films was developed by using an electrodynamic actuator. With the system, fatigue testing can be performed over a wide range of loading frequency. Besides, a capacitive displacement gauge was developed to measure the monotonic and cyclic deformation of thin films with high resolution during fatigue testing. As the displacement gauge is stable and its response is so fast, the displacement can be measured instantaneously and continuously during fatigue testing of high frequency.

## Abstract This paper presents the results of tensile and high cycle fatigue tests for copper thin film. Copper films coated by Sn are often used in various electro devices. Especially, when the film is used in tape carrier package (TCP), the film is repeatedly exposed to mechanical or(and) therma
This paper represents the results of tensile and fatigue tests of NiCo thin films, to investigate the effect of size on mechanical properties. The "dog-bone" type Specimen with reduced section widths of 50 m and 150 m were fabricated on two 6 inch wafers using electro-plating process and MEMS proces
In this research, a complete system of a force control unit implemented on a home-built electromechanical fatigue test machine is proposed. The entire system includes an electro-mechanical shaker, a load cell, a controller, dedicated software, and an external metallic structure to constrain the spec
