Abstract	A method for coating released polysilicon microstructures with thin, uniform and conformal coatings of SiC derived from the single source precursor, 1,3-disilabutane (DSB) has been developed. This coating method has been successfully applied to micromechanical test devices which allow evaluation of friction and wear properties of the coating. Here, data on the coefficient of static friction of SiC coatings produced from DSB is presented. Also, a comparative wear study for devices which have been oxidized, treated with an anti-adhesion coating, and SiC coated is shown. Wear is examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) on devices which have been cycled repetitively under a nominal load. It is found that the application of a few nanometers-thin SiC coating provides exceptional wear resistance as well as significant reduction in friction on the microscale.
