Abstract:
Micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) are found almost everywhere in our daily lives and become indispensable. With their increasing significance functionality and quality demands placed on them are increasing. Their perfomance has to be enhanced with consistent quality and reducing costs. To deal with that requirements, it is essential to get more information about already manufactured MEMS. Correlative surface measurements with complementary measurement methods can be a way to increase the volume of information about manufactured structures. With the gain of information, predictions about new materials and structures can be made reducing development expenses for new MEMS.
