Compact MEMS Modeling for Design Studies

Voigt P., Wachutka G., University of Technology, DE

A method for MEMS macromodel development is presented which is based on a physical device description to obrain mathematical relations for the device operation. Since design and technlogy parameters are input parameters of the resulting [...]

A Predictive Length-Dependent Saturation Current Model Based on Accurate Threshold Voltage Modeling

Lim D., Lim K.Y., Zhou X., Lim D., Lim K.Y., Nanyang Technological University, SG

This paper presents a compact length-dependent saturation current (Idsat) model for deep-submicron MOSFETs based on accurate modeling of the threshold voltabe (Vth). The proposed unified model has considered all the important two-dimensional (2-D) short-channel effects, [...]

Compact Modeling of Bistable Electrostatic Actuators

Xu J., Darling R.B., Lauritzen P.O., University of Washington, US

A compact circuit simulation model for a bistable electrostatic cantilever actuator is presented which is appropriate for circuit and system simulation of RF MEMS switches. This simplified model captures the essential physical features of a [...]

Modeling and Characterization of an Integrated FET Accelerometer

Kniffin M.L., Wiegele T.G., Masquelier M.P., Fu H., Whitfield J., Motorola, Inc., US

The GFET accelerometer is an integrated inertial sensor based on a movable-gate field effect transistor. The complexity of the transduction principle and the tight tolerances associated with its manufacture necessitated a large range of simulation [...]
