Characterization of Mechanical Properties at the Micro/Nano Scale: Stiction Failure of MEMS, High-Frequency Michelson Interferometry and Carbon NanoFibers
… NanoElectroMechanical Systems (NEMS) - a.k.a. stiction-failure. The adhesive forces between MEMS devices leading to stiction failure are characterized in this dissertation analytically and experimentally. Specifically, the adhesion energy of poly-Si μcantilevers are determined experimentally …

Tunneling nanoelectromechanical switches based on compressible self-assembled molecules
… results in high hysteresis and the risk of stiction failure, thereby bringing about an inevitably high actuation voltage and unfavorable dynamic power consumption in practical device designs. The low switching speed, poor reliability and absence of scalable manufacturing technique also set …
