| Abstract: | A finite element model of the cantilever beam is implemented to include a non-uniform thickness along its length, due to focused ion beam trimming. A quasi-static, iterative approach is used to calculate the cantilever profile for a given bias voltage. Two focused ion beam trimming strategies are compared. The snap-down voltage as a function of milling depth or width is calculated. |
