Abstract

In this work, we use generalized Kirchhoffian networks (GKNs) composed of physically based compact models to efficiently and accurately predict viscous damping in highly perforated moving micromechanical structures. We introduce compact models for slit-shaped perforations, validated by dedicated test structures, and successfully applied them to an acceleration sensor. Comparison with measurements shows good agreement and prove the feasibility of the approach.
