    Abstract: In an integrated MEMS device, moving silicon parts with smooth surfaces can stick together if they come into contact. By roughening at least one smooth surface, the effective area of contact, and therefore surface adhesion energy, is reduced and hence the sticking force is reduced. The roughening of a surface can be provided by etching the smooth surfaces in gas, plasma, or liquid with locally non-uniform etch rate. Various etch chemistries and conditions lead to various surface roughness.
