Stiction based failure mechanisms• In MEMS is large• Stiction failure surface forces > spring forces• Common failure mechanisms due to stiction
are:– Capillary forces– Van der waals forces– Electrostatic forces

Significance of nanocoating• In SUMMiT-V after final release step, liquid in-
between two poly-silicon layers can cause failure.
» Solution: Critical point drying________» Future Problem: Capillary condensation
• Anti-stiction coating (hydrophobic) minimizes capillary condensation.
• Hydrophobic – fear of water» eg: teflon cookware

Vapor Phase deposition of SAMFor MEMS devices under fabrication the last few steps impact the yield, reliability & functionality:• Release step
– Critical point drying– Avoid release stiction
• Surface preparation– Surface cleaning (organic contaminants)– Asher/ Ashing/ UV-O cleaner
• Exposure– Exposed to precursor (nano-coating chemistry)

• Significance of nano-coatings• Why it is needed in MEMS
– Anti- stiction (lube)– Improve lifetime
In addition to: • Dimples, roughness, straps, guides, etc
associated with design• Process involved in SUMMiT-V fabrication is
not in our hands• Surface chemistry involved in the conformal
treatment to all poly-silicon layers helps» Lower adhesion energy» Increase reliability lifetime of device

Static friction is friction between two solid objects that are not moving relative to each other. For example, static friction can prevent an object from sliding down a sloped surface. The coefficient of static friction, typically denoted as μs, is usually
higher than the coefficient of kinetic friction.The static friction force must be overcome by an applied force before an object can move. The maximum possible friction force between two surfaces before sliding
begins is the product of the coefficient of static friction and the normal force: .
Kinetic (or dynamic) friction occurs when two objects are moving relative to each other and rub together (like a sled on the ground). The coefficient of kinetic friction is typically denoted as μk, and is usually less than the coefficient of static friction for the same materials

A1) Super-hydrophobicity is a combination of roughness, coverage (aerial density) and surface energy. So alumina nano-particles are very important for roughness and how you distribute the nano-particles over the surface. But you need to combine this with low surface energy of the Phobix. A2) The boulder formation that IST reports was observed when using amine – epoxy adhesion versus a linkerrix (oxide) adhesion. In the ATETATETA is (A=amine step / T=TMA aluminum oxide / E=Epoxy) a sequence. The durability was improved with Amine-T-Epoxy reaction schemes. However, IST’s highest durability was observed with a ALD layer.
