Abstract:	VLSI system designers can begin their design process with a behavrioal description of a system, then proceed to physical design. MEMS designers typiclly begin with device design, this process is opten followed by several fabrication iterations for device characterization, and the rest of the system-the electronics and packaging-are layered on top of the device in successive design iterations. THis methodology results in long design cycles and is very costly. A more structred approach to MEMS CAD would permit th edesigner to specify system level performance goals and then propagate those
