Abstract:
A method for measuring a width of a wire, comprising the steps of:preparing a measuring pattern for the width of the wire, said measuring pattern including:(a) a first pattern with a first width;(b) a second pattern connected to said first pattern and having a second width wider than said first width; and(c) a third pattern connected to said second pattern and having a third width wider than said first width; and wherein said first pattern, said second pattern and said third pattern are made of an identical material;connecting said first pattern through a power source to said third pattern;disposing a first pair of probes on said first pattern and then connecting said first pair of probes to a first voltmeter, a distance between said first pair of probes being a first distance wider than said first width;disposing a second pair of probes on said second pattern and then connecting said second pair of probes to a second voltmeter, a distance between said second pair of probes being a second distance wider than said first width; anddetermining said first width using gauged voltage at said first voltmeter and said second voltmeter.
