The Influence of Residual Stress on Micromachine Stiction of a Stiff Circular Plate

Abstract

The notorious coupling of adhesion and residual membrane stress on the bridge of a MEMS-RF-switch and its effects on suction failure are investigated. the previous model [1] of a thin flexible circular membrane with zero stiffness is here extended to thick stiff plate under bending. the mechanics of a film delaminating from a substrate is rigorously constructed based on an energy balance.
