releasing cantilever with thin SOI

Mathieu,
                    A standard process to remove stiction is to treat the
cantilevers in a system that totally dehydrates then coats everywhere with a
monolayer typically 5 Angstroms thick of reactive material that changes contact
angle and produces a totally hydrophobic surface.  Typical contact angles of 130
degrees, Teflon is 120.  We can do free samples for you please contact me.

Subject: [mems-talk] releasing cantilever with thin SOI

Hi,

I'm about to start a process to make thin cantilevers (100nm thick, 1 to 4um
wide, 10 to 25um long) out if an SOI wafer with a 350nm BOX layer. I have a CPD
for the final drying step but I still have some doubts it's going to work
(stiction). Anyone have experience with such processes ?

Thanks
Matthieu Nannini
