Abstract

This paper studies the Mode II adhesion energy of a Poly-Si ìcantilever stiction failed on a poly-Si substrate. A custom flexural microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) load cell and an interferometer are used to measure the applied forces and measure the deflections in real time. From this data the Mode II strain energy release rates were determined to range between 0.520-5.10 mJ m-2.
