Abstract

See full text

It is possible to use an oriented monolayer to limit the Van der Waals forces between two elements by passivation. An oriented monolayer (34) is formed on a surface of a micromechanical device. When the surface comes in contact with another surface, the oriented monolayer decreases the Van der Waals forces to reduce the attraction between the surfaces.
