Lauritzen | | Affilation: | University of Washington, U.S.A. | | Pages: | 289 - 292 | | Keywords: | bistability, cantilevers, compact modeling, electrostatic actuators, MEMS switches | | Abstract: | A compact circuit simulation model for a bistable electrostatic cantilever actuator is presented which is appropriate for circuit and system simulation of RF MEMS switches. This simplified model captures the essential physical features of a cantilever, including hysteresis and bistability, making it suitable for large-signal circuit analyses. The model is extremely compact by means of using only a single internal system variable and requires only a small number of material and geometrical parameters. The model also properly conserves charge while still representing a voltage-variable, bistable capacitance. |  | View paper | | ISBN: | 0-9666135-4-6 |
