MEMulator: A fast and accurate Geometric Modeling, Visualization and Mesh Generation Tool for 3D MEMS Design and Simulation

Udeshi T., Parker E., Zyvex Corporation, US

We present novel voxel-based algorithms and their application to Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS) design and simulation. Voxel-based techniques are known for their robustness and flexibility and have been used for MEMS design and simulation. [...]

A 3D Geometry Modeler for the SUMMiT V MEMS Designer

Jorgensen C.R., Yarberry V.R., Sandia National Laboratories, US

This paper will describe the SUMMiT V 3D Modeler; a 3D geometric modeler based on Sandia National Laboratories new five-level process for manufacturing microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). The modeler simulates the SUMMiT V process, a baseline [...]

CFD-Micromesh: A Fast Geometrical Modeling and Mesh Generation Tool for 3D Microsystem Simulations

Tan Z., Furmanczyk M., Turowski M., Przekwas A.J., CFD Research Corporation, US

In this work, a new fully automated geometrical modeling and meshing tool is described. It imports standard layout formats (CIF, GDSII, DXF), images (GIF, JPG), and 3D boundary representations (STL). A 3D model is then [...]

Discrete Impurity Effects in Silicon Quantom Dots

Milicic S.N., Vasileska D., Akis R., Gunther A., Goodnick S.M., Arizona State University, US

We have developed efficient self-consistent 3D Schrodinger-Poisson solver to model the energy level spectrum in silicon quantum dots. We find that the energy level spectrum in the dot can be easily tuned by varying the [...]
