An efficient Adaptive Single-Mode (ASM) Pull-In Extraction Algorithm for Computer Aided Design of Electrostatic MEMS Devices

Elata D., Bochobza-Degani O., Nemirovsky Y., Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, IL

This paper presents a novel Adaptive Single-Mode (ASM) Pull-In extraction scheme for CAD of electrostatic MEMS. The scheme is 50 to 1000 times faster than various previously suggested methods. The extracted Pull-In parameters are shown [...]

An Efficient Numerical Algorithm for Extracting Pull-In Hyper-Surfaces of Electrostatic Actuators with Multiple Uncoupled Electrodes

Elata D., Bochobza-Degani O., Nemirovsky Y., Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, IL

In this work the stability of electrostatic actuators with multiple uncoupled voltage sources applied to separate isolated excitation electrodes is analyzed. These electrodes are used to drive a continuous deformable element. A novel computational strategy [...]
