Adhesion and residual stress play a critical role in the performance and reliability of MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems). The effects of residual stress on the pull-in instability of the micromechanical structure were examined using thin plate theory and energy criterion. It is shown that the critical gap between the film and the substrate is a function of the ratio of residual stress to bending...
