Abstract
An electrically conducting substrate includes a plurality of layers. A strain gauge is deposited on a layer of the plurality of layers. The strain gauge measures the stress and/or strain of the electrically conducting substrate. This allows the strain gauge to determine whether a stress or strain of the electrically conducting substrate has caused the electrically conducting substrate to deform, crack, or break.
