Bechtold T., Salimbahrami B., Rudnyi E.B., Lohmann B., Korvink J.G., IMTEK, University of Freiburg, DE
A high power dissipation density in todays miniature electronic/mechanical systems makes on-chip thermal management very important. In order to achieve quick to evaluate, yet accurate thermo-electric models, needed for the thermal management of microsystems, a [...]
A Fully Coulpled Computational Model of the Silylation Process
This paper describes a fully coupled computational model of the positive tone silylation process. The model is two-dimensional and transient and focuses on the part of the lithography process in which crosslinked and uncrosslinked resist [...]
Advanced Modelling Technique for Microscale Heat Transfer Analysis : Application to the flexible printed circuit microconnectors
The paper presents an advanced modelling technique of 3D multi-scale heat conduction problem for the thermal analysis of microsystems and especially flexible printed circuit microconnectors (FPC). Nowadays, more and more applications in automotive and aerospace [...]
Study of Misaligned Lateral Combdrive Static Actuators
In-plane combdrive misalignments are studied using developed analytical and numerical (FEA) models and techniques. Issues of decreasing precision and stability are discussed. The analytical models are closed form and can be used by designers of [...]
Modeling Nanosized Colloidal Particle Interactions with Brownian Dynamics Using Discrete Element Method
Discrete element method (DEM) has been developed in an integrated software system to study ceramic particle suspension and colloidal forming process recently [1, 2, 3]. Particle interactions such as van der Waals attraction, electrical double-layer [...]
A Space-time Coarse-grained Model for Particle Simulations of Soft Matter
We have developed a series of particle models that are consistent in phase behavior at various space-time coarse-grained levels based on three coarse-graining procedures: Grouping (Gp) for monomer or segment of molecules, Packing (Pk) for [...]
