A Mems Microphone Using Repulsive Force Sensors
We present a MEMS microphone that converts the mechanical motion of a diaphragm, generated by acoustic waves, to an electrical output voltage by capacitive fingers. The sensitivity of a microphone is one of the most important properties of its design. The sensitivity is proportional to the applied bias voltage. However, it is limited by the pull-in voltage, which causes the parallel plates to c...
متن کاملCantilever beam electrostatic MEMS actuators beyond pull-in
The operational range of electrostatic MEMS parallel plate actuators can be extended beyond pull-in in the presence of an intermediate dielectric layer, which has a significant effect on the behavior of such actuators. Here, we study the behavior of cantilever beam electrostatic actuators beyond pull-in using a beam model along with a dielectric layer. The results from the simple beam model are...
متن کاملEffects of Casimir force on pull-in instability in micromembranes
We analyze pull-in instability of electrostatically actuated microelectromechanical systems, and study changes in pull-in parameters due to the Casimir effect. When the size of the device is reduced, the magnitude of the Casimir force is comparable with that of the Coulomb force and it significantly alters pull-in parameters. We model the deformable conductor as an elastic membrane and consider...
متن کاملElectrostatic fringing-field actuation for pull-in free RF-MEMS analogue tunable resonators
This paper presents the design, fabrication and measurement of the first pull-in free tunable evanescent-mode microwave resonator based on arrays of electrostatically actuated fringing-field RF-MEMS tuners. Electrostatic fringing-field actuation (EFFA) is the key on achieving a wide tunable frequency range that is not limited by the conventional pull-in instability. Furthermore, total lack of d...
متن کاملElectrostatic Actuators Operating in Liquid Environment : Suppression of Pull-in Instability and Dynamic Response
This paper presents results about fabrication and operation of electrostatic actuators in liquids with various permittivities. In the static mode, we provide experimental and theoretical demonstration that the pull-in effect can be shifted beyond one third of the initial gap and even be eliminated when electrostatic actuators are operated in liquids. This should benefit to applications in micro...
