Vector Potential Equivalent Circuit for Efficient Modeling of Interconnect Inductance

Pacelli A., SUNY-Stony Brook, US

We present a compact topology for inductive parasitics, using the vector potential as a state variable. The model is local, i.e., only coupling between neighboring wires is explicitly modeled. However, the topology accounts for long-range [...]

Finite Element Analysis of MEMS Diaphragm Valves

Kao I., Yang F., SUNY-Stony Brook, US

Based on simple plate theory, the deflection of MEMS microvalve is studied analytically and numerically. The critical load to initially drive the microvalve is found to be proportional to the pre-deflection of microdiaphragm. The microdiaphragm [...]

Analysis of Pressure Balanced MEMS Valves

Kao I., Yang F., SUNY-Stony Brook, US

Based on simple plate theory and the Bernoulli equation, the effect of fluid flow on the deformation of fluid driven MEMS diaphragm microvalve is investigated analytically and numerically. The static instability of such a microsystem [...]
