20、nal Standard specifies the method for axial tensiletensile force fatigue testing of thin film materials with a length and width under 1 mm and a thickness in the range between 0,1 m and 10 m under constant force range or constant displacement range. Thin films are used as main structural materials f
21、or MEMS and micromachines. The main structural materials for MEMS, micromachines, etc., have special features, such as typical dimensions of a few microns, material fabrication by deposition, and test piece fabrication by means of non-mechanical machining, including photolithography. This Internatio
22、nal Standard specifies the axial force fatigue testing methods for micro-sized smooth specimens, which enables a guarantee of accuracy corresponding to the special features. The tests are carried out at room temperatures, in air, with loading applied to the test piece along the longitudinal axis. 2

30、Design of test piece In order to minimize the influence of size, the test piece should have dimensions of the same order as that of the objective device component. The shape and dimensions of the specimen should be based on Annex C of IEC 62047-2. The dimensions of the plane shape of the specimen sh
31、all be within an accuracy range of 1 % as specified in IEC 62047-2. The length of the parallel part of the test piece shall be more than 2,5 times the width. See C.1 in IEC 62047-2. The curved part between the gripped ends and the parallel part should have a radius of curvature sufficient to not cau
32、se a fracture at the curved part due to stress concentration. See C.2 in IEC 62047-2. The gauge marks specified in IEC 62047-2 are not necessary if the marks may concentrate stress or initiate fatigue fractures. 4.2 Preparation of test piece The test piece should be fabricated using a process as sim
33、ilar as possible to that of the device to which the thin film is to be applied. The test piece also should be fabricated following the procedures specified in IEC 62047-2. The substrate removal process should be carefully chosen to prevent damaging the test piece. See C.3 in IEC 62047-2. The number
34、of test pieces should be determined adequately according to the thin films tested. See Annex E. 4.3 Test piece thickness The thickness of each test piece shall be measured, as the film thickness is not usually uniform over a wafer. The accuracy of the measurement shall be within 5 %. Each test piece
35、 should be measured directly. However, the film thickness at the step height of a window opening etched near the test piece can be used as the thickness of a specimen in order to avoid mechanical damage from the use of a stylus profiler, etc. Methods of measuring film thickness and measurement error
36、s are given in C.4 of IEC 62047-2. 4.4 Storage prior to testing In the case of thin films, the storage environment may affect the fatigue properties. If there is an interval between final preparation and testing, particular care should be taken in storing the test pieces, and the specimens should be
37、 examined by appropriate means to ensure that the surface has not deteriorated during the storage period. If any deterioration is observed that was not present after the specimens were prepared, testing shall not be performed. However, if the damage was introduced during the preparation processes, t
38、he test shall be performed. 5 Testing method and test apparatus 5.1 General The testing machine should be equipped with a gripping mechanism appropriate for the test piece, as well as with a mechanism for applying cyclic loading. The cyclic loading applied to the test piece should be basically tensi
39、le-tensile mode loading. For constant range force testing, maximum and minimum forces (or mean force and force range) shall be monitored and the testing machine should be equipped with a constant force range control system. For constant displacement range testing, the maximum and minimum BS EN 62047
40、-6:2010 8 62047-6 IEC:2009 displacements (or mean displacement and displacement range) shall be monitored and the testing machine should be equipped with a constant displacement range control system. A test-piece failure detection system should be provided and the number of loading (or displacement)
41、 cycles to failure shall be recorded. 5.2 Method of gripping (mounting of test piece) Each test piece shall be mounted so that the loading axis and test piece axis are aligned. When gripping both ends of the test piece, care shall be taken to avoid applying excess force and/or bending stress to the
42、test piece. The gripping methods indicated in Annex A of IEC 62047-2 are recommended for mounting the test pieces. In addition, the testing apparatus should be equipped with a test piece alignment mechanism to ensure that the tensile axis of the test piece is aligned with the loading direction of th
43、e test apparatus. 5.3 Static loading test Static tensile testing of the test piece is recommended before fatigue testing in order to determine the testing conditions. Static tensile testing shall be carried out according to the procedures specified in IEC 62047-2. 5.4 Method of loading If the specim
44、en was fractured during the first loading cycle, the fracture stress shall be recorded and described in the report. The maximum and minimum forces (or mean force and force range) shall be kept constant during the constant force range test. The maximum and minimum displacement (or mean displacement a
45、nd displacement range) shall be kept constant during the constant displacement range test. A load cell with a resolution adequate to guarantee 5 % accuracy of the applied force shall be used. The drift of the load cell should be less than 1 % of the full-scale force during the testing. See Annex B i
46、n IEC 62047-2 regarding the accuracy of the load cell. For constant displacement range testing, a displacement measurement system with a resolution adequate to guarantee 5 % accuracy of the applied displacement shall be used. See Annex C. 5.5 Speed of testing As the frequency of the stress cycle wil
47、l depend upon the testing environment, the type of testing machine employed, and the stiffness of the test piece, the frequency shall be that which is most suitable for the particular combination of environment, material, test piece, and testing machine. Generally, the frequency should be chosen pro
48、perly depending on the application of thin film materials. In addition, the frequency shall not heat the test piece during the application of cyclic loading due to the rapid dissipation of strain energy in the test piece. This practice does not apply to fatigue testing of viscoelastic films. 5.6 Env
49、ironment control As the environment greatly affects the fatigue properties of thin films, the testing temperature and humidity shall be monitored during testing. The testing temperature and relative humidity should be controlled to within 1 C and 5 %, respectively. See Annex E. If it is difficult to control the testing temperature and humidity, these values shall be described in the test report. BS EN 62047-6:201062047-6 IEC:2009 9 6 Endurances (test termin
