Objective
While MEMS manufacturing is impressively progressed during the last decade, tools for testing of mechanical properties of microstructures are not very well-developed and not suited for MEMS technology. The proposed programme aims at strengthening MEMS testability using optical on-chip integrated techniques based on MEMS interrogation by integrated interferometry. This testability has to play an important role, both during design and development of micromechanical structures and during chip-production.
Thus, the stress of a deposited thin films can be obtained from measurements by an integrated interrogation system based on Mach-Zehnder interferometry where one of the branches of this interferometer is rigid the other one is made on top of a piezoelectically actuated membrane. When the piezoelectric actuation is applied to the membrane, the Mach-Zehnder output signals contain the information about the optical path change of the sensing arm produced by membrane deformations.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
