Failure Modes in Surface Micromachined MicroElectroMechanical Actuators
In order for the rapidly emerging field of MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) to meet its extraordinary expectations regarding commercial impact, issues pertaining to how they fail must be understood. We identify failure modes common to a broad range of MEMS actuators, including adhesion (stiction) and friction-induced failures caused by improper operational methods, mechanical instabilities...
متن کاملSurface Micromachining for Microelectromechanical Systems
Surface micromachining is characterized by the fabrication of micromechanical structures from deposited thin films. Originally employed for integrated circuits, films composed of materials such as low-pressure chemical-vapor-deposition polycrystalline silicon, silicon nitride, and silicon dioxides can be sequentially deposited and selectively removed to build or “machine” three-dimensional stru...
متن کاملAchieving large stable vertical displacement in surface-micromachined microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)
This thesis describes electrostatic actuation techniques and mechanical design features for realizing large planar analog vertical travel in an electrostatically actuated diffractive mid-infrared optical device, which is robust, both to manufacture, and against pull-in during use. This device, called the Polychromator, is fabricated by polysilicon surface-micromachining and consists of many par...
متن کاملScalable Macromodels for Microelectromechanical Systems
A fully automatic macromodeling methodology to generate scalable reduced-order models for microelectromechanical systems is presented in this paper. Krylov subspace methods are used to generate reduced-order models from detailed higher-order models of the device under consideration. The entire methodology is implemented in a symbolic computation environment to preserve dependencies on physical ...
