Analysis of Electro-Statically Driven Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems

Authors: Chong Du Cho, Byung Ha Lee

Abstract: In this paper, a methodology of modeling and simulating the electro-statically driven micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) is presented, utilizing topography data with an arbitrary structure. In the methodology, the mask layout and process recipe of a device are first generated and the model then discretized by an auto-mesh generation for the finite element analysis. Finally the analysis is performed to solve the Laplace and the dynamic equation at a time. The methodology is applied to an electro-statically driven comb-drive as a test vehicle for verification.

Physical Modeling and Characteristics of a Johnsen-Rahbek Type Electrostatic Chuck

Authors: Jae Seok Choi, Jeong Hoon Yoo, Sang Joon Hong, Tae Hyun Kim, Sung Jin Lee

Abstract: Generally, a Johnsen-Rahbek (J-R) type electrostatic chuck (ESC) generates higher attractive force than a Coulomb type ESC. Attractive force in a J-R type ESC is caused by the high electrical resistance that occurs in the contact region between an object plate and a dielectric layer. This research tries the simple geometrical modeling of the contact surface and simulates the contact resistance, the attractive force and the response time according to the variation of contact surface shape. In the latter half of this research, the simulation for a pin-combined chuck is accomplished using a similar surface modeling and the comparison between the pin chuck and the general flat chuck is made in aspects of the attractive force and the response time.

Coupled-Field Analysis of the Compliant Slider Mechanism with Rectangle Flexure Hinges Based on ANSYS

Authors: Lei Duan, Li Fang Qiu, Hai Shan Weng, Zhi Yong Xie

Abstract: The compliant slider mechanism with rectangle flexure hinges was designed, and its pseudo-rigid-body model was built. The theoretical value of the relationship between force and displacement was given after analysis; the electrostatic-structural-coupled field finite element model of this mechanism was also built and analyzed by ANSYS, and the simulation value of the relationship between voltage and displacement was obtained; According to the relationship of voltage and force, the theoretical value was compared with the simulation value. The result indicates that the model is valid and the analysis is correct.

On the Dynamics of the Micro-Ring Driven by Traveling Bias Voltages

Authors: Xiu Qian Ye, Yi Bao Chen, Bih Sheng Hsu, Yuh Chung Hu

Abstract: There is no literature mentioned the modeling of the microstructures subjected to traveling electrostatic forces. This paper is the first time to present an analytical approach to investigate the dynamics of a micro-ring structure driven by the traveling bias voltage. The traveling electrostatic forces may come from the sequentially-actuated actuating electrodes arranged around the flexible ring. A linearized distributed model considering the electromechanical coupling effect is derived based on the small deflection assumption. According to the analytical results, the stiffness of the micro-ring will be softened periodically with the traveling speed of the driving voltage and the variation increases with the increasing of the voltage.
