Resonant Frequency Shift of Torsional Acutators due to Electrostatic Force

Xiao Z., Sun Y., Li B., Lee S., Sidhu K.S., Chin K.K., Farmer K.R., New Jersey Institute of Technology, US

We have investigated the effect of natural frequency shift in single-crystal silicon, rectangular, electrostatic torsion actuators due to the electrostatic force. The electrostatic actuator was fabricated by using ultra-thin silicon wafer, SU-8 thermal compression bonding, [...]

A New Method to Design Pressure Sensor Diaphragm

Wang X., Li B., Lee S., Sun Y., Roman H.T., Chin K., Farmer K.R., New Jersey Institute of Technology, US

Over the last decade, silicon pressure sensors have undergone a significant growth. In most cases, these MEMS (Microelectromechanical System) devices are manufactured from rectangular or circular diaphragms whose thickness is constant and in the order [...]

Mathematical Modeling for Immunocolloid Labeling

Raymond C., Milewksi P., New Jersey Institute of Technology, US

For many biological applications, it is becoming increasingly important to extend imaging capabilities to simultaneously identify multiple molecular species in order to gain insight into the structural and functional elements of cells. A key part [...]

Optimization of Thermally Actuated Bimorph Cantilevers for Maximum Deflection

Peng W., Xiao Z., Farmer K.R., New Jersey Institute of Technology, US

Theoretical analysis of thermally actuated bimorph cantilevers is presented to find the optimum condition for maximum deflection. The relations between material properties, dimensions and deflections are discussed in detail to understand the mechanism. Optimum condition [...]

Modeling and Simulation of A Surface Micromachined Triaxial Accelerometer

Jiang L., Carr W.N., New Jersey Institute of Technology, US

We present the modeling and simulation results in designing a surface micromachined, capacitive triaxial accelerometer. Electrical FEA simulations calculate the nominal values of the sensing capacitors and compared with parallel-plate analytical model. The mechanical static [...]
