Stability of Charge-Controlled Electrostatic Actuators: A general theorem and a novel charge Pull-In extraction numerical scheme

Bochobza-Degani O., Elata D., Nemirovsky Y., Electrical Engineering Department, Technion, IL

This work deals with the stability of charge-controlled electrostatic actuators. First, a general proof is presented showing that for any electrostatic actuator, the stability range under charge-control is always larger than the stability range under [...]

Modeling the Electro-Thermal Response of Thermally Isolated Micromachined Distributed Structures

Socher E., Bochobza-Degani O., Elata D., Nemirovsky Y., Israel Institute of Technology, IL

This work analyzes the electro-thermal behavior of thermally isolated micromachined resistive structures. A novel numerical scheme for solving the coupled electro-thermal problem is suggested. The novel scheme can capture the thermal instabilities under both voltage [...]
