← ScienceWhich risk greatly increases within oscillating MEMS accelerometers due to stiction?
A)Crystal lattice dislocations accumulate quickly✓
B)Substrate delamination undergoes rapid spalling
C)Surface wear creates thermal runaway
D)Oxidation rapidly corrodes metal surfaces
💡 Explanation
Crystal lattice dislocation accumulation leads to increased stiction noise floor, because atomic planes slip; therefore, the signal degrades and lowers the lower detection limit, rather than surface wear or corrosion dominating.
