MEMS pressure sensor with an AlGaN/GaN based high electron mobility transistor
The III Nitrides (III-N), especially gallium nitride (GaN) and its compounds, are very attractive for pressure and strain sensing thanks to their excellent piezoelectric properties. The AlGaN/GaN heterostructure offers high mechanical and chemical stability, operation [...]
Towards generic platforms for MEMS manufacturing
Coming at the time of technical maturity, MEMS industry requires now more standardization in manufacturing processes. This paper presents Leti’s contribution to develop generic platforms matching the suitable MEMS technologies within two distinct fields: physical [...]
Tip-Tilt-Piston Micromirror with Integrated Large Range Variable Focus for Smart Lighting Systems
Modern fabrication techniques are enabling the adoption of micro-opto-electromechanical systems devices in applications never anticipated. Low-cost lighting systems can exploit micromirrors to both enable directed or sculpted light and to support short-range optical communications. The [...]
Modeling the effect of the increase in the actuation voltage
In the past few years many reports have demonstrated the development of RF-MEMS switches considering the mechanical, electrical and chemical behaviors separately. However there are a few works which address the whole aspects of RF-MEMS [...]
Embedded fiber optic sensors for battery performance monitoring in Lithium ion battery cells
Alemohammad H., Ghannoum A., Zdravkova L., Iyer K., Nieva P., Yu A., Khajepour A., Nieva P., Yu A., Khajepour A., University of Waterloo, CA
This paper is focused on the development of an embedded fiber optic sensor for monitoring the performance of Lithium ion battery (LIB) cells. The number of LIB cells are proliferating mainly due to the global [...]
An Economical Lightweight Field Deployable PiezoElectric Gravimeter (PEG)
Conventional gravimeters typically measure the amount of the opposing forces required to suspend an object or by monitoring an objects freefall rate. The developed technology, a piezoelectric stimulus-response quantification based gravimeter (PEG), functions entirely different [...]
Advanced Packaging for Next Generation Imaging and Sensor Devices
Quilt Packaging is a unique and versatile edge-interconnect technology that utilizes “nodule” structures that extend out from the vertical facets along the edges of chips to allow for inter-chip communication. QP has demonstrated world-record chip-to-chip [...]
Wireless, One-way, Sensor to Base Station Monitoring System for Explosive and Non-hazardous Environments
The technology developed is a monitoring system that includes a base station and at least one sensor unit mounted at some distance away, which is in wireless, one-way communication with the base station. The sensor [...]
