Test Support Strategies for MEMS
نویسندگان
چکیده
Integrated test technology is becoming critically important for MEMS due to the high reliability and safety critical applications targeted. High quality levels in production require efficient test strategies that are properly validated. Fault simulation and testability analysis are critical utilities required to support this process. This paper will discuss methods for achieving test support based on the extension of tools and techniques currently being introduced into the mixed signal ASIC market.

Generation of Electrically Induced Stimuli for MEMS Self-Test
A major task for the implementation of Built-In-Self-Test (BIST) strategies for MEMS is the generation of the test stimuli. These devices can work in different energy domains and are thus designed to sense signals which are generally not electrical. In this work, we describe, for different types of MEMS, how the required non-electrical test stimuli can be induced on-chip by means of electrical ...
متن کاملMEMS Reliability Assessment Program – Progress to Date
As the Army transforms into a more lethal, lighter and agile force, the technologies that support these systems must decrease in size while increasing in intelligence. Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are one such technology that the Army and DOD will rely on heavily to achieve these objectives. The MEMS devices within these systems will be required to last as long as the lifetime of the w...
متن کاملElectrically Induced Stimuli For MEMS Self-Test
A major problem for applying self-test techniques to MEMS is the multi-domain nature of the sensing parts that require special test equipment for stimuli generation. In this work we describe, for three different types of MEMS that work in different energy domains, how the required non-electrical test stimuli can be induced onchip by means of electrical signals. This provides the basis for addin...
متن کاملSimulation and Derivation of Deflection Equation for Suspended Diaphragm for MEMS Application Using Kirchhoff-Love Theory
In this paper, using theory of sheets, the deflection of suspended diaphragm has been obtained under uniform and circular loading. This type of diaphragm, unlike other diaphragms, has a central support which is recommended to be used in MEMS applications. The relationship between diaphragm deflection and static analysis of this diaphragm enjoys a great significance in investigating and understa...
