They do, though often to avoid device failures. Search for "MEMS Stiction"
- HCIdivision17 13y agoI was going to mention this. Stiction was the bane of my effort fabricating even the simplest components as an undergrad. My favorite part was how you can realistically suggest using diamond ablative layers and the like. Made for fun conversations to listen in on - invariably it sounds expensive and high tech, regardless of if it's just sacrificial carbon.
