In this paper we have proposed a new switch or structure for reducing actuation voltage. This switch is compared with four conventional structures considering the force range of 1uN to 3uN. We have used the ANSYS software for design and simulation for the switch parameters such as actuation voltage, collapse voltage, spring constant and resonant […]
In this paper we presented a novel MEMS acoustic sensor using corrugated diaphragm. The corrugated diaphragm is used to decrease the effect of residual stress and thus improve the sensitivity of micromachined acoustic sensor. The displacement and mechanical sensitivity of flat and corrugated diaphragms, and also open-circuit sensitivity and pull-in voltage of sensors are calculated […]
