Quantifying Strength Size Effects in Polycrystalline Silicon and Aluminum with On-chip Test Platforms
Mechanical strength of components increases as their size decreases. Optimum design of reliable systems at the micro- and nanoscales will account for such size-dependent strength. However, the dependencies of strength on size in brittle ceramic and ductile metal thin films are not well known because...
