Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a
electromechanical device that has an improved usable lifetime due to the
presence of one or more channels that contain and deliver a lubricant
material that can reduce the likelihood of stiction occurring between the
various moving parts of the device. Embodiments of the present invention
also generally include an enclosed device package, and a method of
forming the enclosed device package, that has one or more lubricant
containing and/or transporting channels that that deliver lubricant
material to a device disposed within the enclosed device package. Each
lubricant containing channel acts as a ready supply of "fresh" lubricant
to prevent stiction from occurring between interacting components of the
device disposed within the enclosed region of the device package. The
ready supply of "fresh" lubricants may also be used to replenish damaged
lubricants (worn-off, broken down, etc) at the contacting surfaces where
stiction generally occurs.
