Abstract

See full text

A micromachined device is packaged to reduce stiction. In one embodiment, a level of moisture is introduced in the package to create a very thin film over surfaces of the device. The device can also be packaged with a vapor deposition of an organic material after a wafer of devices has been separated into individual dies and the individual dies are placed in open containers. In another embodiment, a micromachined device is positioned in an open package and a liquid or solid organic material is disposed within the package so that when the device is sealed, the organic material vaporizes and coats portions of the die to reduce stiction.
