Suppression of Stiction in MEMS
Stiction failures in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) occur when suspended elastic members are unexpectedly pinned to their substrates. This type of device failure develops both in fabrication and during device operation, being a dominant source of yield loss in MEMS. Stiction failures require first a collapse force that brings the elastic member contact with the substrate followed by an i...
متن کاملFailure modes for stiction in surface-micromachined MEMS
Wafer-level testing of surface-micromachined sensors provides ncw challenges to the test community. Currently, there is no method available for performing direct measurements to assess faulty micromechanical structures. Most commercial methods use electrical measurements to deduce the physical source of failures in the micromechanical structure. As a result, the process of identifyang various f...
متن کاملPorous Silicon Carbide for MEMS
Metal assisted photochemical etching (MAPCE) of 4H Silicon Carbide (SiC) was utilized to generate locally defined porous areas on single crystalline substrates. Therefore, Platinum (Pt) was sputter deposited on 4H-SiC substrates and patterned with photolithography and lift off. Etching was performed by immersing the Pt coated samples into an etching solution containing sodium persulphate and hy...
متن کاملMicromachined silicon cantilevers and tips for bidirectional force microscopy
Scanning tunneling microscopes (STMs) and atomic force microscopes (AFMs), known under the expression scanning probe microscope (SPM), are well established methods to analyze surfaces, and the principle of their operation is published widely [1-3]. In AFM a point probe reacts mechanically on interatomic forces of the sample and generates a topographic view of the surface with an atomic resoluti...
