Abstract
We report absolute measurements of the thermal‐expansion coefficient of single‐crystal silicon having a precision of ±0.2%. Five thermal‐expansion values have been determined using 1.9 °C temperature measurement intervals within the temperature range 34–44 °C. Our value for the thermal expansion of silicon at 35.22±0.08 °C is 2.683±0.005×10−6 cm/cm °C, which agrees with previous measurements by others and represents an almost fivefold increase in accuracy.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
