We present an original imaging method to measure the three components
of the surface displacement of working power devices with a nanometric
resolution. The method takes advantage of the speckle structure of th
e analysed object recorded on a CCD camera. This method is complementa
ry of IR thermography and provides interesting information concerning
stress and reliability in power devices. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd
