Time-Domain Monte-Carlo and Noise Analysis of MAPS Sensors

Jankowski M., Napieralski A., Lodz University of Technology, PL

A non-typical approach to extended simulational analysis for monolithic active pixel (MAPS) based binary pixel readout circuits is presented. Circuit solutions and simulation results are presented and discussed. Applications of particle detection/tracking are quite wide, [...]

Transient Analysis of Snap-through Behavior of a MEMS Optical Switch

Huang Y-Y., Yang Y-J, National Taiwan University, TW

In this work, we present the study of the transient behaviors of the bi-stable mechanism used for a MEMS optical switch. The major part of the bi-stable mechanism consists of two constrained curved structures (the [...]

Modeling and Dynamic Simulation of Electrostatically Driven Micromirror

Kweon S., Lee H., Shin H., Samsung Electronics Co.Ltd., US

Dynamic behavior of the electrostatically driven bi-directional micromirror system was simulated with ANSYS parametric design language. The objective of the study is to construct a dynamic simulation scheme for the transient properties of electrostatically coupled [...]

Modified Nodal Analysis for MEMS with Multi-Energy Domains

Clark J.V., Zhou N., Pister K.S.J., University of California at Berkeley, US

A modified nodal analysis approach for the design, simulation, and display of three-dimensional microelectro-mechanical systems with coupled energy domains is presented. Static, steady-state, and transient algorithms are introduced followed by examples. Transient and static analysis [...]
