Abstract
An on-chip micro-tribotester was designed and fabricated to simulate the tribolgical properties for the lateral contact surfaces of MEMS devices. The loading structure, testing part and force sensors were all integrated on a single chip by bulk silicon technology and bonding process. It is verified from the tested results that the static frictional coefficient between the contact pairs is 0.9 and dynamic frictional coefficient varies with normal force.
