Microbridge testing was used to measure the Youngs modulus and residual stress of metallic films. Samples of freestanding NiFe film microbridge were fabricated by microelectromechanical systems. Special ceramic shaft structure was designed to solve the problem of getting the load-deflection curve of NiFe film microbridge by the Nanoindenter XP system with normal Berkovich probe. Theoretical analysis of load-deflection curves of the microbridges was proposed to evaluate the Youngs modulus and residual stress of the films simultaneously. The calculated results based on experimental measurements show that the average Youngs modulus and residual stress for the electroplated NiFe films are 203.2 GPa and 333.0 MPa, respectively, while the Youngs modulus measured by the Nano-hardness method is 209.6±11.8 GPa for the thick NiFe film with silicon substrate.
