摘要

Static fatigue - crack growth causing delayed failure under constant stress and involving stress corrosion cracking - was investigated in polysilicon MEMS using two different surface-micromachined devices. One exploited residual tensile stresses to create stress concentrations at micromachined notches, and the other involved a single-edge notched beam specimen integrated with an electrostatic comb-drive microactuator. Tests with both devices revealed that polysilicon is not susceptible to static fatigue in humid environments. However, when a relatively thick (45 to 140 nm) surface oxide was thermally grown on the microactuator devices, the specimens demonstrated delayed fracture in a humid ambient, presumably due to static fatigue of the surface SiO_2. The stress intensities at the resulting cracks in the SiO_2 were then sufficient to cause catastrophic crack propagation through the polysilicon specimens. The implications of our data on the issue of fatigue in polysilicon is discussed.
