Modeling and Micro Scale Analyzing of Micro- Switch Applied in All-optical Communication

چکیده
Inductive micro-switch is an integrative device of a sensor and actuator and widely applied in all-opticalnetwork communication. Its malfunctions related to “fail-to-closure” and “transient-closure” result in low reliability and weak anti-jamming capability. A new bistable inductive micro-switch is presented based on micro electro-mechanical system (MEMS) technology. A sine rough surface model is used to describe the random distribution of the rough adhesive surface. Micro size Casimir and van der Waals (vdW) forces are analyzed in detail. The vdW force includes the repulsive force. Dynamic simulation results are shown to be in agreement with experimental results. The threshold acceleration was 6.8g, and the response time was 17.5μs. A “double-snap-back” phenomenon in the Off-state is discovered.

Study on the Pull-In Instability of Gold Micro-Switches Using Variable Length Scale Parameter
In this paper, the size dependent behavior of the gold micro-switches has been studied. This behavior becomes noticeable for a structure when the characteristic size such as thickness or diameter is close to its internal length-scale parameter. The size dependent effect is insignificant for the high ratio of the characteristic size to the length-scale parameter, which is the case of the silicon...
