An anti-stiction coating with a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) was investigated for ohmic contact micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) switches with low-load contacts. SAMs of thiophenol (TP) or 2-naphthalenethiol (2-NT) were coated on Au samples with variations in surface roughness to investigate the effects of the surface asperities on the adhesion force. The adhesion force was measured using a silicon tipless cantilever in the relative humidity range of 10 to 85% for the SAM coated samples and compared with those for the Au and SiO2 sample surfaces. The adhesion force measurements indicate that the TP and 2-NT coatings can prevent a liquid meniscus from forming on the device surfaces due to their hydrophobic character caused by the protruding aromatic group. In addition, it was confirmed that these coatings could reduce van der Waals forces more than the Au coating. Based on these results, SAMs of TP and 2-NT have excellent potential as anti-stiction coatings for MEMS switch contacts.
