Popis: Within this paper, the repeatability of the mechanical properties of thin polysilicon films is discussed. The film thickness, mechanical stress and Young's modulus are investigated with respect to on-wafer, wafer-to-wafer and run-to-run repeatability. The repeatability is examined using micromachined test structures. Although the determined parameter variations are small compared to other publications, the effect of those variations on the characteristics of micromachined sensors is still not negligible.
