- a micromachine in which the low friction coating is applied to at least one of a movable member and another member that contacts the movable member.
- the size of the region where the movable member and the other member are in contact may be 1 nm to 200 ⁇ m.
- boron (B) is added to the zinc oxide thin film so that the vertical and horizontal piezo polarizations appearing at 90% or more of the measurement points are less than a certain value.
- the frictional force of the nanometer order of the added zinc oxide thin film can be made very small. As a result, friction inside the device including a fine working member such as a micromachine can be reduced, which is very useful for realizing this type of device.
- Example of this invention it is a figure which shows notionally the structure of the combinatorial sputter coating system used in order to produce a B non-addition zinc oxide thin film and a B addition zinc oxide thin film.
- the shape image and LFM (lateral force microscope) of B non-added zinc oxide thin film and B added zinc oxide thin film produced by changing the high frequency power to the B target in three ways of 0 W, 80 W and 120 W

- boron (B) is doped after adjusting the film forming conditions to obtain a B-added zinc oxide thin film.
- the film forming method it is preferable to use reactive sputtering.
- B Boron (B), which is an insulating material, segregates at the boundary of the domain of the B-added zinc oxide thin film produced in this manner, whereby the crystal grains constituting the zinc oxide thin film are electrically insulated from each other.
- the electric charge that appears on the surface by piezo polarization is locally strengthened, and a strong electric repulsion continues.
- the addition of B also improves the uniformity of polarization in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction for each crystal grain. In this way, polarization that is electrically isolated at the nano level is uniformly distributed on the surface of the film, so that minute contact points on the order of nanometers move on the surface and are adjacent to one crystal grain.
- the transverse polarization may be smaller than the longitudinal polarization, but if the longitudinal piezo polarization does not appear, the effect of reducing friction is hardly seen.
