Modeling and Simulation of Damping Resistance of a Cantilever Based Energy Harvester

M. I. Hassan [1], A. Brimmo [1], A. N. Chatterjee [2],
[1] Masdar Institute of Science and Technology, Abu Dhabi, UAE
[2] MEMS Department, GLOBALFOUNDRIES, Singapore, Singapore

The multilayer composite single mass cantilever is a MEMS energy harvester structure. The vibrating structure is under vacuum in hermetic MEMS. However, out-gassing during process integration and fabrication would cause air molecules (e.g. hydrogen, nitrogen, argon, water vapor, oxygen, ... Read More

Nonlinear Optics in Plasmonic Nanostructures

The unique optical properties of plasmon resonances in noble metal nanoparticles have been extensively investigated owing to their ability to enhance the electric field amplitude but also to tailor its spectral and spatial distribution. Among all application domains, nonlinear optics ... Read More

Stress Induced by Silicon-Germanium Integration in Field Effect Transistors

R. Berthelon [1], D. Dutartre [1], F. Andrieu [2]
[1] STMicroelectronics, France
[2] CEA Leti, France

The integration of high level of stress in field effect transistors is performed through incorporation of intrinsically strained SiGe layers. With the help of COMSOL simulations, we performed two studies addressing the level of stress in the area of interest. In the first case, we ... Read More

Enhanced Second-Harmonic Generation in AlGaAs Nanoantennas

L. Carletti [1], D. Rocco [1], A. Locatelli [1], C. De Angelis [1],
[1] University of Brescia, Italy

We designed AlGaAs all-dielectric nanoantennas with magnetic dipole resonance at near-infrared wavelengths. These devices are shaped as cylinders of 400nm height and radii varying from 175 nm up to 230 nm. We analyzed volume χ(2) nonlinear effects associated to a magnetic dipole ... Read More

Simulation of a Thermoelectric Spiral Structure

[1] Computer, Electrical and Mathematical Sciences and Engineering (CEMSE), King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Thuwal, Saudi Arabia
[2] The University of British Columbia, School of Engineering, Okanagan Campus, Canada

Energy efficiency and harvest, speed and performance, flexibility and portability are key elements for innovation in the current consumer electronics markets. Thermoelectric Generators can convert energy from heat gradients into electricity. Every source of heat from an electronics ... Read More

FEM Modeling in Robust Design for Graphene-Based Electromagnetic Shielding

S. Elia [1], G. Granata [1], P. Lamberti [1], V. Tucci [1],
[1] University Of Salerno, Italy

Electromagnetic shielding design is usually approached referring to nominal values of the main parameters. This could lead to malfunctioning devices and its performance differ widely from what was really aimed at or, worse, the final design product could even be physically unrealizable. ... Read More

Calculation of Surface Acoustic Waves on a Piezoelectric Substrate using Amazon™ Cloud Computing

U. Vogel [1], M. Spindler [1], S. Wege [1], T. Gemming [1]
[1] Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials, Dresden, Germany

In this work, we seek to simulate SAWs for a better understanding and to benchmark the currently available cloud computing possibilities of COMSOL Multiphysics® software. By using the MEMS module we demonstrate 3D models with reduced geometry to achieve principle information about the ... Read More

Parametric Simulation of PZT Diameter to Hole Ratio for Optimized Membrane Displacement

A. Arevalo [1], D. Castro [1], D. Conchouso [1], I. G. Foulds [2]
[1] Computer, Electrical and Mathematical Sciences and Engineering (CEMSE), King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Saudi Arabia
[2] The University of British Columbia, School of Engineering, Okanagan Campus, Saudi Arabia

For our simulation we used the Piezoelectric Devices interface. The structure was set with (clamped) fix constraint boundaries to both ends. The bottom electrode was set to be the ground for the electrostatic physics and the top electrode was set to be a Terminal with potential of 10V. A ... Read More

MEMS Electrostatic Acoustic Pixel
