How and what makes a driver face less spin ?

Its more related to how you hit the ball and at what angle.

i dont think its actually the face of the driver that creates spin its more the clubhead design ie. weighting, cor and moi. all the high moi heads you see will typically create more spin as this is what causes it to go straighter is backspin.

depending on where you put the weight on the clubhead you can adjust your spin and launch and what not. also the loft of the head plays a big part in the spin so make sure you get fitted on a launch monitor to determine your optimum loft so that you dont get too much spin or too little spin.

There are a number of things that effect spin with a driver. As far as the face of the driver goes spin will change depending on where you hit it (higher on the face usually produces less spin than low contact on the face), and the angle the clubhead is moving during contact (making contact on the up swing or down swing puts more spin on the ball than making a level horizontal sweep does).

Beyond that the construction of the ball, flex/bend point/tip stiffness of the shaft, loft of the clubhead, ball compression, launch angle, and clubhead speed/ball speed have effects on the spin rate you obtain.

The only thing that could affect the spin created by the face is whether or not the driver has small grooves in the sweetspot. For example, my Superquad has no grooves on the sweetspot, but the TP Superquad does. Not sure why that is so (im guessing it makes it more workable by creating more spin), but that is the only thing I can think of.
