A MEMS Capacitive Microphone Modelling for Integrated Circuits

In this paper, a model for MEMS capacitive microphone is presented for integrated circuits.  The microphone has a diaphragm thickness of 1 μm, 0.5 × 0.5 mm2 dimension, and an air gap of 1.0 μm. Using the analytical and simulation results, the important features of MEMS capacitive microphone such as pull-in voltage and sensitivity are obtained 3.8v and 6.916 mV/Pa, respectively while there is no...

Toward integrated plasmonic circuits

VOLUME 37 • AUGUST 2012 • www.mrs.org/bulletin © 2012 Materials Research Society Plasmonics: Converting photons into the nanoscale Recently, photonic technologies have become universal in global data communications. 1 The unprecedented data bandwidths, ever falling power consumption requirements, and reduced cost margins of on-chip photonics 2,3 have established a photonic roadmap for scaling d...

Dielectrics in Integrated Circuits

This paper presents details on ultra thin (silicon dioxide and silicon nitride based composite structures) dielectrics that have the potential for meeting future device requirements. The increase in gate leakage current is a major problem for scaled conventional gate oxide in advanced device technology. Approaches to minimize this problems have been reviewed. Various Gate, Interlayer and DRAM d...
