Introduction The Nano Indenter G200 is a versatile instrument capable of measurements beyond the scope of traditional or even advanced depth-sensing indentation tests. NanoSuite Explorer software’s user-friendly environment for developing novel test methods turns the Nano Indenter G200 into a multi-functional tool capable of several different types of small-scale mechanical tests. Each NanoSuite method is a customizable prescription for driving the instrument hardware and for collecting, conditioning, and analyzing the resulting measurement data. This application note describes the development of a novel method for testing an element in a micro-electro- mechanical system (MEMS) device. The MEMS device that is the subject of this testing is itself used to test integrated circuits (IC).
