The present disclosure relates to the mitigation of stiction in electromechanical devices. In some embodiments, an electromechanical device may be provided with one or more restoration portions that provide an assisting mechanical force for mitigating stiction. The restoration portions may be implemented as one or more deflectable elements, where the deflectable elements may have various configurations or shapes, such as a chevron, cross, and the like. For example, the restoration portion can be a cantilever that deflects when at least one component comes into contact or proximity with another component. Multiple restoration portions also may be employed and placed strategically within the electromechanical device to maximize their effectiveness in mitigating stiction.
