3D MEMS Simulation Modeling Using Modified Nodal Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
The modeling, simulation, and experimental verification of several MEMS devices are presented. Simulated results include 3D mode analysis, residual stress effects, thermal expansion, nonlinear deflections, time-varying electrostatic forces, process sensitivities, induced currents, and the transient performance in accelerated reference frames. To simulate the performance of these MEMS devices a modified nodal analysis approach is used to formulate a system of ODEs that is solved by static, steady state, and transient solvers. Index Terms SUGAR, modified nodal analysis, static, steady state, transient, accelerating frames, sensitivity.

Modeling Thermo-electro-mechanical Beams in Sugar
INTRODUCTION Qconv SUGAR is a simulation package for 3D MEMS devices that utilizes nodal analysis techniques [1]. It has been shown that nodal analysis is significantly faster than other simulation techniques and can be just as accurate. The latest version of SUGAR (v2.0) includes various models for 2D and 3D beams, electrical beams, and gap closing actuators [2]. In addition, SUGAR is easily e...
متن کاملNew Numerical Techniques and Tools in SUGAR for 3D MEMS Simulation
SUGAR is a nodal analysis package for 3D MEMS simulation that owes its heritage and its name to the SPICE family of circuit simulation. SUGAR has undergone the stage of proof-of-concept which showed that nodal analysis was in fact just as accurate and much faster than nite element simulation on many MEMS problems. The upcoming major release of SUGAR is version 2.0, which includes a number of ne...

متن کاملHigh-Level Fault Modeling in Surface-Micromachined MEMS
MEMS structures rendered defective by particles are modeled at the schematic-level using existing models of fault-free MEMS primitives within the nodal simulator NODAS. We have compared the results of schematic-level fault simulations with low-level finite element analysis (FEA) and demonstrated the efficacy of such an approach. Analysis shows that NODAS achieves a 60X speedup over FEA with lit...
