Factors affecting creep in gold on silicon bi-layer MEMS cantilevered beams

This research identifies factors that contribute to creep in bi-layer gold on polysilicon MEMS beams. Beams used in this research were manufactured using the Multi-User MEMS Process (MUMPs). Their thicknesses were 2(micrometer) or 4(micrometers) (O.5(micrometers) gold on either 1.5(micrometers) or 3...
