Today many position aware devices are demanded. Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) can detect their own acceleration. Out of these values the movement, and thus the new position, can be calculated. The problem of these systems is, they are very error-prone. In order to minimize the fault this paper introduces a new way of combining different MEMS measurements to achieve a more accurate rel...

In this paper we study the use of pseudorandom test techniques for linear and nonlinear devices, in particular Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS). These test techniques lead to practical BuiltIn-Self-Test techniques (BIST). We will first present the pseudorandom test technique for Linear Time Invariant (LTI) systems. Next, we will illustrate and evaluate the application of these techniques...

The aim of this work is to develop a lowoverhead, low-cost built-in test for Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS). The proposed method relies on processing the Impulse Response (IR) through trained neural networks, in order to predict a set of MEMS performances, which are otherwise very expensive to measure using the conventional test approach. The use of neural networks allows us to employ ...

For the testing of micro electro-mechanical systems, we propose a taxonomy built-in self-testing methods. These solutions that are non-intrusive, cost-effective and typically non-intrusive during process being actively sought after as cost micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) can account for 50% total end product. The selection methods is analyzed extensively, classification table such prese...

We report a new approach for efficient computation of capacitance in multiconductor systems embedded in homogeneous or multiple dielectric media. The technique employs exponential expansion of the Green's function for evaluation of the three-dimensional potential and its gradient, enabling rapid and accurate extraction of interconnect capacitance in VLSI and large-area amorphous silicon electro...

Radio Frequency Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (RF MEMS) based switches are expected to play a key role in the field of microwave switching. Traits like low-loss performance; zero-power consumption and very low inter-modulation distortion have made these switches well suitable for high-performance microwave and millimeter-wave circuits. The design of RF MEMS switches, however, require sophist...

Over the last few years an amazing amount of interest has emerged for applications of micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) in telecommunications. Silicon-based optical MEMS have proven to be the technology of choice for lowcost scalable photonic applications because they allow mass manufacturing of highly accurate miniaturized parts, and use materials with excellent mechanical and electrical...

A micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) is a technology that allows obtaining components between 1 to 1000 micrometers (usually 20 micrometers). Its small dimension and, at the same time, the low power consumption, has become the most important features so as to develop a new technology for nano-scale components. Moreover, the fabrication procedures are as simple as a Microstrip line procedure...
