MEMS Electrostatic Micro-Power Generator for Low Frequency Operation
This paper describes the analysis, simulation and testing of a microengineered motion-driven power generator, suitable for application in sensors within or worn on the human body. Micro-generators capable of powering sensors have previously been reported, but these have required high frequency mechanical vibrations to excite a resonant structure. However, bodydriven movements are slow and irreg...
متن کاملMicropower thermoelectric generator from thin Si membranes
We report the development of a Si-based micro thermogenerator build from silicon-oninsulator by using standard CMOS processing. Ultrathin layers of Si, 100 nm in thickness, with embedded n and p-type doped regions electrically connected in series and thermally in parallel, are the active elements of the thermoelectric device that generate the thermopower under various thermal gradients. This pr...
متن کاملElectrostatic Operation and Curvature Modeling for a MEMS Flexible Film Actuator
In this paper we develop a mathematical model to simulate the actuation of a multilayer metallic strip. In the first step of the model development, we employ the theory of Judy [4] and Timoshenko [5] to quantify the radius of curvature in the unimorph due to differing thermal coefficients in the constituent materials. The resulting radius of curvature is subsequently used to compute the voltage...
متن کاملA MEMS Steam Generator
Previous work [1] has shown that MEMS technology has significant potential to create more compact, higherperforming hardware for chemical oxygen iodine lasers (COIL). In COILs, the laser medium is a flowing gas that must be pumped through the system at high mass flow rates to ensure proper system operation. As a result, compact pumps with high pumping rates are a key element of the COIL system....
متن کاملFrequency-Selective MEMS for Miniaturized Low-Power Communication Devices
With Q’s in the tens to hundreds of thousands, micromachined vibrating resonators are proposed as integratedcircuit-compatible tanks for use in the low phase-noise oscillators and highly selective filters of communications subsystems. To date, LF oscillators have been fully integrated using merged CMOS/microstructure technologies, and bandpass filters consisting of spring-coupled micromechanica...
