System-Level Optical Interface Modeling for Microsystems

Kurzweg T.P., Sharma A.S, Bhat S.K., Levitan S.P., Chiarulli D.M., Drexel University, US

In this paper, we present an accurate and computationally efficient system-level optical propagation technique suitable for the modeling of optical interfaces. Our technique is based on extensions to the angular spectrum technique used to solve [...]

Mixed-Domain Simulation of Step-Functional Voltammetry with an Insoluble Species for Optimization of Chemical Microsystems

Martin S.M., Strong T.D., Gebara F.H., Brown R.B., University of Michigan, US

Microinstruments with integrated sensors and electronics are well adapted for remote environmental monitoring applications. Optimization of these microinstruments, however, has been difficult due to a previous lack of mixed-domain simulation environments. This work presents a [...]

A Full-System Dynamic Model for Complex MEMS Structures

Rocha L.A., Cretu E., Wollfenbuttel R.F., Delft University of Technology, NL

For full characterization of a surface micromachined MEMS device, where the thickness of the moving layer is just a few times the gap size, the modeling has to take large-signal behavior and end effects into [...]

Scalability and High Frequency Extensions of the Vector Potential Equivalent Circuit (VPEC)

Mukherjee B., Wang L., Wang P., Wang L., Wang P., Pacelli A., Stony Brook University, US

We present a complete modeling technique for inductive parasitics, based on the vector potential equivalent circuit (VPEC) topology. Novel algorithms for layout extraction and sparsification are introduced. Examples are discussed in terms of CPU time, [...]
