In cases where device numbers are limited, large statistical studies to verify reliability are impractical. Instead, an approach incorporating a solid base of modelling, simulation, and material science into a standard reliability methodology makes m

The objective of this work is to demonstrate the feasibility of on-chip sensing of bistable mechanism state using the piezoresistive properties of polysilicon, thus eliminating the need for electrical contacts. Changes in position are detected by obs

Although the use of compliance or elastic flexibility in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) helps eliminate friction, wear, and backlash, compliant MEMS are known to be sensitive to variations in material properties and feature geometry, resulting

Local distortion at the built-in ends of cantilever beams can lead to significant errors when models assume the support to be perfectly rigid. This paper presents a novel approach for mitigating this effect, using appropriately sized fillets to provi

This paper demonstrates the direct linearization method (DLM) applied to position error in kinematic linkages due to link-length and angle variations. It combines the mathematical techniques used in assembly tolerance analysis and kinematic error ana

Surface micromachining of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), like all other fabrication processes, has inherent variation that leads to uncertain material and dimensional parameters. By considering the effects of these variations during the des

We have developed and demonstrated a technique for optical excitation of mechanical resonance that does not require coherent, monochromatic, or time-varying light. Previous methods for optically exciting mechanical motion in microscale devices requir
