Abstract
The reliability of MEMS is a key problem for its commercial application. The polysilicon microcantilever is a basic structure in MEMS. Mechanism of stiction failure of surfaces-micromachined microcantilever is introduced and a stiction reliability prediction model based on macro-mechanical theory and reliability method is presented. Finally the effect of micro-cantilever dimension and environment humidity on reliability is analyzed.
