Introduction With decreasing dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) cell sizes, DRAM process development has become increasingly difficult. Bit-line (BL) sensing margins and refresh times have become problematic as cell sizes have […]
The next wave of communication and social technology is set to move beyond 2D screens toward a more immersive experience relying on augmented and virtual reality. This new platform is […]
Here in the Application Team at Coventor, we are always working to improve our solutions to real-world MEMS design problems. We have a continuing interest in packaging that encapsulates MEMS […]
Creating a fully coupled multiphysics model is one of the holy grails of MEMS modeling. If you can automate the creation of a MEMS model, it opens the door to […]
The First Computers: Electro-Mechanical Computing The first computers were built using electro-mechanical components, unlike today’s modern electronic systems. Alain Turing’s cryptanalysis multiplier and Konrad Zuse’s Z2 were invented and built […]
Introduction Genetic algorithms belong to a family of algorithms called “stochastic algorithms”. These algorithms are used to find the optimal solution to a mathematically difficult real-world problem, such as the […]
In any given year, we expect about 16 major earthquakes worldwide, 15 of which are in the magnitude 7 range and one in the magnitude 8.0 range or greater [1]. […]
A digital twin is a digital representation of a real-world item, and includes software objects or models that represents these real-world items. In MEMS product development, digital twins (or software […]
Transducers 2021 is a prestigious international conference that reviews advances in Solid-State Sensors, Actuators and Microsystems. At this year’s conference, there were 391 papers presented from 29 different countries with […]
There are a wide range of promising applications for RF MEMS switches, including use in tunable filters, antennas, tactile radio, and RF ID [1]. Why it is so difficult to […]
