Paper Abstract
This paper presents a testing methodology for measuring the low cycle fatigue properties of single-crystal
silicon thin films using kHz-frequency resonators. The dynamic behavior of the fatigue structures is
thoroughly characterized to allow accurate measurements of stresses (±0.1 GPa) and fatigue lives (±250
cycles). The tests consist of applying successive bursts of small numbers of cycles (as low as ~500 cycles)
and measuring the resonant frequency in between each burst. Continuous damage accumulation, beginning
after the first burst, is observed based on the decrease in resonant frequency of the resonant structure.
