Interfacing requirements for MEMS components in system-on-chip methodologies
FREE-DOWNLOAD NW Bergmann – SPIE’s International Symposium on …, 2010 – Modern VLSI design is moving towards a System-on-Chip design paradigm, where chip design involves the integration of separate macrocells from different manufacturers. This paper explores the obstacles to adopting this same methodology for systems incorporating MEMS
Impact dynamics of MEMS switches
FREE-DOWNLOAD RP LaRose… – Nonlinear Dynamics, 2010 Abstract During operation, a MEMS switch is acti- vated by an applied voltage. This causes the switch, of- ten a doped silicon microbeam, to be attracted toward (pulled-into) a substrate. The component–substrate contact completes a circuit and permits the flow of cur- rent
