RF MEMS
RF MEMS:着眼未来射频以及混合信号技术近些年有了巨大的进步同时在无线通信快速增长的市场中占有重要地位。
在新摩尔定律下更高集成度的CMOS技术促进了这一成功。
同时,一些射频器件技术尤其是那些采用MEMS技术制作的用来进行频率选择的压电材料器件。
另一方面,已经存在有许多无线服务比如各种各样的无线通信标准以及许多新出现的系统比如“超宽带”以及“无线传感网络”。
这些服务使用不同的频率,不同的带宽,同时各种各样的解调系统使得单一的系统不能稳定运行。
这些都导致整个业界向着“软件无线电”的方向发展。
这个理念经过多年的讨论引出了“认知无线电”的概念。
认知无线电的希望能够通过改变软件来改变射频功能而不像现在这样改变硬件才能达到相同的目的。
很明显传统的有高数据传输速率和较大动态范围的数模转换并不足以实现这一功能。
而人们认为射频MEMS是一个很有前途充满竞争力的技术。
接下来会介绍下射频MEMS的发展现状,包括开关,电容电感,振荡器/滤波器。
未来的射频MEMS不仅仅着眼于“可调谐”,“可选择”以及“集成”,同时还希望实现“模式匹配”,“改进谐振器在无线应用方面的性能”以及“发现射频MEMS的新功能”。
未来的射频MEMS不仅仅是技术上的讨论,也应该包括射频MEMS的国际标准以及无线通信产品。
软件无线电是一种多模式的无线射频系统,这种系统可以使用一个数字系统和一台硬件来改变和实现多种射频功能。
Joseph Mitola在1999年提出这种系统的代表性结构包括射频电路,宽带数模/模数转换,实施软件以及窄带数模/模数转换除此之外还有用户界面。
这个概念已经从他自身的原有功能扩展到了分析用户需求上,比如说这涉及到了关于频带,拟定,软件,硬件,用户应用偏好以及现在的“认知无线电”。
有两种方法来实现认知无线电,一个是利用多种网络来实现各个基于服务的网络间的无缝连接;另外一种是动态频谱的方法。
近些年,人们认为最好是将两种方法合成一种。

mems surface micromachined accelerometer
Surface Micromachined Accelerometer IntroductionThis example shows how to model a surface micromachined accelerometer inCOMSOL, using the electromechanics interface. The example is based on the case study in Ref. 1. The model also demonstrates the new geometry feature of Linked Subsequences, first introduced in COMSOL 5.0. A collection of geometric building blocks can be stored in a source model file as Subsequences. Thereafter other model files can re-use the same building blocks by linking to the Subsequences in the source model file. Each Subsequence can take arguments to generate a building block with specific dimensions and/or number of features. In this model a surface micromachined accelerometer is created from three building blocks, two of which are used multiple times by calling the corresponding Subsequence with different arguments.Model DefinitionThe surface micromachined accelerometer is composed of a released proof mass supported by anchored springs at its two ends, together with sensing and self test electrodes extending to the sides. When the device is subject to an acceleration, the restoring force from the springs gives a displacement of the proof mass in proportion to the acceleration. The displacement causes a change in the capacitance between the fixed and moving electrodes. This change in capacitance can be measured with a number of standard circuits.For acceleration along the axis of the accelerometer, symmetry allows modeling only half of the geometry for faster computation. The three geometric building blocks are the proof mass with attached electrodes (Figure 1), the folded spring (Figure 2), and the fixed electrode array (Figure 3). These building blocks are implemented asSubsequences that take arguments to specify dimensions, orientation, position, and number of features. For example, the proof mass shown in Figure 1 has 7 senseelectrodes at the center and 3 self test electrodes at each end. The actual model on the other hand is built with 21 sense electrodes, by calling the same Subsequence with the corresponding argument 21. As another example, Figure 4 shows an electrode array built from the same Subsequence as in Figure 3, with a different set of arguments, resulting in different number of electrodes, dimensions, and orientation of the anchor pads.micrometers.Figure 2: Building block for the folded spring. Grid scales are in micrometers.Figure 3: Building block for the fixed electrode array. Grid scales are in micrometers.Figure 4: Example of an electrode array built from the same Subsequence as in Figure 3, with a different set of arguments. Grid scales are in micrometers.The geometry sequence begins by calling the proof mass Subsequence, followed by calling the folded spring Subsequence twice to attach a spring at each end of the proof mass. Subsequently 6 calls to the fixed electrode array Subsequence are made to construct the sense and self test fixed electrodes.Each Subsequence call contributes to a domain and a boundary selection. This allows easy assignment of domain physics and boundary conditions in the physics interface. The model uses polysilicon for the building material and includes a rectangular air domain surrounding the polysilicon. The Electromechanics interface models the electric field within the deforming gaps between the electrodes, and applies the appropriate electrostatic forces to the solids, which creates a corresponding structural deformation. The narrowing electrostatics domain results in nonlinear geometrical effects which are included in the Electromechanics interface by default.The entire polysilicon solid is subject to an acceleration using the Body Load domain physics feature. The (mechanically) fixed electrodes are set at constant potentials, and the proof mass (and its attached electrodes) is at a floating potential whose value will be determined by the position-dependent capacitance (and the applied voltages on the fixed sense electrodes).Results and DiscussionThe first study illustrates the normal operation of the accelerometer by sweeping the applied acceleration from -50 to +50 g and computing the resulting displacement of the proof mass. Figure 5 shows the displacement of the polysilicon domains when the applied acceleration is 50 g. The proof mass (and the attached moving electrodes)moves by about 0.07 micrometer. The anchored spring bases and the fixed electrodeshave very little movement. The folded springs have varying displacement along its length as expected.Figure 5: Displacement of the polysilicon domains when the applied acceleration is 50 g.The proof mass moves by about 0.07 micrometer. The anchored spring bases and the fixed electrodes have very little movement. The springs have varying displacement along its length as expected.Figure 6: Displacement vs acceleration.Figure 6 shows the linear relationship between the displacement and the applied acceleration. The displacement is measured via the capacitive coupling between the moving and the fixed sense electrodes. In the real device, during normal operation, the proof mass with its attached moving electrodes is floating at a potential close to one half of the supply voltage, and a high frequency square wave swinging between zero and the full supply voltage is applied with opposite phase to the fixed sense electrodes on each side of the moving electrodes. The fixed self test electrodes are biased at one half of the supply voltage. When the proof mass moves as a result of the acceleration, an alternating voltage in proportion to the displacement is induced due to the capacitive coupling between the fixed and moving electrodes. This arrangement nulls the average electrostatic force between the fixed and moving sense electrodes, and facilitates easier signal processing in the attached circuitry. In this example the stationary part of the square wave is modeled using a stationary study, so that the problem solves relatively quickly. The bias is shifted to zero for convenience, and the amplitude of the square wave is divided by an artificial factor of 1000 to reduce the electrostatic force between the fixed and moving sense electrodes (in practice the time average of the force will be zero due to the high frequency excitation). For a 5 V supply in the physical device, this corresponds to applying a +/-2.5 mV on the right-side and left-side fixed sense electrodes in the model. In post processing the artificial factor of1000 is multiplied back to the sensed voltage of the proof mass. Figure 7 shows the linear relationship between the sense voltage and the acceleration. This signal is fed into an amplifier that in the real device was built on the same substrate as theFigure 7: Sensed voltage vs. applied acceleration.The accelerometer in the model was designed with self test electrodes that could be employed to calibrate the device in the factory. The second study illustrates the self testing by applying a bias of 2 V on the fixed self test electrodes, which are at the side of the moving electrodes attached to the proof mass. The electric field between the fixed and the moving electrodes exerts an electrostatic force that causes the proof mass to move. Figure 8 shows the displacement of the polysilicon domains when 0 V is applied to the fixed self test electrodes on the left-hand side of the moving electrodes attached to the proof mass, and 2 V to those on the right-hand side. The proof mass moves by about 0.02 μm, which is large enough in magnitude for the self test purpose (compared to the 0.07 μm of full range displacement shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6).Figure 8: Displacement of the polysilicon domains when 0 V is applied to the fixed self test electrodes on the left-hand side of the moving electrodes attached to the proof mass, and 2 V to those on the right-hand side. The proof mass moved by about 0.02 μm, which is large enough in magnitude for the self test purpose (compared to the 0.07 μm of full range displacement shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6).Figure 9 compares the displacement obtained from applying the self test voltage to each side of the fixed electrodes. The displacement values have the same magnitudewith opposite signs, as expected from symmetry.Figure 9: Displacement vs. applied self test voltage.References1. S.D.

外文原文:Future of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)Minhang Bao a, Weiyuan Wang b• Fudan University, Shanghai. 200433 Chinab Shanghai Institute of Metallurgy. Shanghai. 200050 ChinaAbstractThe development of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) based on micromachining and microelectronics technologies has been significant for almost a decade. However, it is unrealistic to consider micromachining technology as a micro version of conventional machining technology. As a matter of fact, micromachining technology stemmed from the planar technology of silicon and is basically a two.dimensional processing technology. On the other hand, it is obvious that a micromachine cannot compare with a conventional machine in strength and power. For the successful development of MEMS in the future, a simple rule is suggested by the experience gained in the past few years: try to avoid as much as possible mechanical coupling with the outside world while trying hard to improve the MEMS technology to enhance the mechanical power of the devices. In addition to that, the strategy proven to be correct for the development of solid-state sensors also applies: MEMS devices should mainly be developed for new applications with a vast market. Their substitution for traditional applications should not be considered as a main strategy of development. Based on these arguments, the future development of MEMS devices and technologies is further discussed in the paper.1. The development of MEMSOn the front cover of the earlier issues of this journal (Sensors and Actuators) there was a subtitle just under the main title which read: 'international journal devoted to the research and development of solid-state transducers' [1]. These plain words mean to us that the founder of the journal, Professor Simon Middelhoek, foresaw the emergence of solid-state actuators, and, therefore, micivelecisome, chaaical systems (i.e., MEMS), from the very beginning of the lastdecade.MEMS are integrated systems consisting of microelectronics (IC), microactuators and, in most cases, microsensors. Microelectronics technology has been developing rapidly since 1960 and has been quite mature since the 1970s. Micromachining technology, the technology for mechanical sensors and microactuators, has been developing almost in parallel with microelectronics technology, though the former has lagged far behind in sophistication.At an earlier stage, the development of micromachining was focused on bulk micromachining mainly associated with solid-state pressure transducers. People at the time did not expect too much from the integration of micromechanical structures and microelectronics because bulk-micromachin-ing technology as well as solid-state pressure transducers were relatively difficult to integrate with microelectronics.In 1987, the first movable micromechanical parts were fabricated by surface-micromachining technology [2] and a typical microactuator, the electrostatic micromotor, was successfully operating in the next year [3]. Due to the high compatibility between the surface micromachining and microelectronics technologies, the integration between micromachines and microelectronics led to the birth of MEMS in the following years.As there has been no clear definition of MEMS, in this article we consider a typical MEMS device as:(1) A device that consists of a micromachine and microelectronics, where the micromachines are controlled by microelectronics. Quite often, microsensors are involved in the control system by providing signals to the microelectronics.(2) A device that is fabricated using micromachining technology and an IC process, i.e.. technologies of batch fabrication.(3) A device that is integratedly born, without individual assembly steps for the main parts of the device except for the steps required for packaging.These points mean that a pressure transducer is not considered as a typical MEMS device but as a mechanical sensor as there is no microclectronics control over micromechanical structures. On the other hand, a micromotor is not a typical MEMS device but a typical part ofMEMS D a microactuator.As MEMS are an integration of micromachining technology and microelectronics (IC) technology, they emerged soon after the advent of the micromachine in 1987. The development of MEMS for almost one decade has been significant: various new techniques have been developed, numerous new devices have been designed and fabricated with some of them being commercialized, and research on MEMS has been conducted by almost all major universities and research institutions, enjoying wide support from industries and government agencies. The field has been described as 'growing into a credible, dynamic and popular adolescence from an uncertain child' in less than a decade [4].But every silver lining has a cloud, and this case was no exception. Some problems developed during the rapid development too. The rapid appearance of new micromachines stirred up high expectations from the scientific communities and even public news media. Some tended to believe that the most sophisticated electromechanical system, like a robot, can be copied into a micro version and the micromachine can still do a similar job to its macro counterparts. There have a'oo been outrageous predictions, like microrobots gathering up radioactive particles at toxic sites, and microsubmarines stalking and attacking viruses and cancerous cells while swimming through the bloodsu'eam. The real development can hardly match such a development pattern from the news media. Though micromotors have been designed and fabricated one by one, they run into the common problem of small torque and relatively large friction on the micron scale. People are usually excited simply by the functioning of a micromotor,\ not being able to expect too much in terms ,:~f torque/ power output. It seems impractical to put them into use like a conventional machine. So far no micromachine can replace a conventional machine in any practical application. This situation has given rise to a sceptical cloud over the future of MEMS.However, application is always the final driving force for any emerging technology. Starting at the beginning of this decade, the practicai application of a microactuator has been talked about more and more often by the transducer community and more and more efforts have been made to put microactuators into realapplication.There have been two approaches so far to push forward the application of microactuators. One of the approaches is to make laicroactuators more powerful and stronger. For example, the force produced by a bimetal structure is large enough for many applications, such as to open and close microvalves. This scheme has been quite successful so that the electrocontrolled microvalve has been commercialized. Shape memory alloy (SMA) can also produce a large force and has been considered for similar purposes. For micromotors, electromagnetic motors have been designed and fabricated. The torque can be several orders of magnitude higher than that of an electrostatic micromotor, but there are still quite a lot of problems related to the design and processing.Another approach is to look for some new applications where little force output is required. To do this, direct mechanical coupling between the micromachine and the macro world should be avoided. The interface between the MEMS and the outside world will be through electrical, optical and magnetic signals. This approach has resulted in quite a lot MEMS devices with practical applications; some of them has been commercialized.This successful experience tell us that the future of MEMS is bright if the nature of micromachining technology is respected.2. The nature of micromachining technologyMEMS are the offspring of two modern technologies, the microelectronics and the micromachining technologies. From a technological point of view, there are some affinities between these two technologies. It is well known that microelectronics (IC) technology stemmed from the planar technology of silicon. As a matter of fact, the application of planar processes of silicon to the formation of mechanical structures gave birth to micromachining technology in the 19"/0s. The successful application of planar technology in solid-state pressure transducers promoted the development of micromachining at the early stage.Basically, there are two main categories of micromachining techniques: bulk micromachining and surface micromachining. The techniques are called bulkmicromachining when the bulk material of the substrate (in general silicon) is involved in the process and as surface micromachining if only the deposited (or plated) films on the surface of the substrate are involved in the machining process. Both types of micromachining technologies have the same virtues as microelectronics technology, i.e., high precision and batch fabrication, but they have the same limitations stemming from planar processing technology.First, the structures made by micromechanical technology can be three din~ensional in appearance, but they are two dimensional in essence as they are evolved according to certain rules from planar etching masks. The structures can be made more complicated by repeating the film deposition and masked etching more than once, but the flexibility is still limited by the number of repititions and the processing order starting from the surface of the substrate. Therefore, it is unrealistic to consider micromachining technology as a micro version of conventional machining technology as it has the limitation of the planar process: a basically two-dimensional processing technology not suitable for assembly steps to construct a machine from indiv;.dually processed parts. We cannot expect micromachining technology to be as flexible and versatile as conventional machining in the conventional world. Some selective deposition and etching techniques claimed to have real three-dimensional capability are under. development [5,6], but it is still too early to fores~.e their possible application in practice.Therefore, one simple rule that has to be Ix)me in mind is that all mechanical structures made by conventional mechanical technology cannot he copied in micromechanical versions, and large arrays with simple structure are more suitable for micromachining technology than a single machine with complicated structure.On the other hand, it is obvious that a micromachine can hardly compare with a conventional machine in strength and power. The smaller the structure, the smaller the strength and the power output it can provide. In many cases, micromachines even have difficulties in just running in a conventional environment due to the extra-large friction on the micro scale and the interference of dust, humidity, etc., not to mention on the power output to drive a macromachine.For successful development of MEMS, one more simple rule is suggested: try to avoid as much as possible mechanical power output while trying hard to improve the MEMS technology to enhance the mechanical strength and power of the devices. It is important to respect the nature of a new technology so that its potential can be fully explored. As a matter of fact, there have been many successful experiences in the short history of MEMS by making full use of the advantages and avoiding the disadvantages of micromachining technology.3. The future of MEMS devicesAs mentioned above, for the future development of MEMS technology, two-fold efforts should be made: one is to improve micromachining technologies continuously and the other is to develop appropriate devices for practical applition according to the nature of the MEMS technologies. The latter is an urgent task at present, l'herefore, the first thing we have to address is: what are the appropriate MEMS devices.'?As micromachining technologies have the advantage of high-precision low-cost batch production but the limitations of two-dimensional masking, low strength, low power output and high susceptibility to the interference of many environment factors, such as dust, humidity, etc., the future MEMS devices should be mainly packaged independent subsystems consisting of micromachines" microelectrouics and, in many cases, microsensors. The coupling between the MEMS devices and the outside world would mainly be via electrical, optical, magnetic and other non-contact signals for power supplies, con~xol information, input and output signals. A large array of relatively simple mechanical structures is preferable to complicated mechanical structures.Also, the future MEMS devices should be aimed at new applications with a vast market so that the device can be mass produced to explore fully the advantage of a planar process in low-cost mass production. Here the argument made by Professor Simon Middelhoek [ 7 ] for silicon smart sensors applies to MEMS too: substitution in an old application does not have the potential to create a large enough market. Therefore, it cannot be considered as a main strategy for future MEMS development.As a matter of fact, the above-mentionod approaches have been proven successful in developing MEMS devices in the past and will be adapted for future devel~)pment. A variety of MEMS devices meeting the above-mentioned criteria will be developed in the future, and arc described below.3. MF.MS devices for inertial sensingSilicon accelerometers have been developing rapidly during the last decade and are considered as the next massproduced micromechanical sensor after silicon pressmsensors.The most attractive type of microaccelerometer, the fort.ebalanced accelemmeter, is in fact a MEMS device consisting of a beam-mass mechanical structure, a capacitive sensor for the position of the mass, the signal-processing electronics for the sensor and an electrostatic actuator to apply a feedback force to the seismic mass. A variety of force-balanced microaccelerometers have been developed by now, but so far the most successful one is the fully integrated microaccelerometer, ADXLSO, which was released for production about two yeats ago [8].The mechanical structure of the devices is fabricated by means of polysilicon surface micromachining, and the electronics are fabricated by means of BiCMOS IC technology. Aiming at applications for airbag release control, the operation range of the device is 50g with a single 5 V power supply. The entire microsystem is fabricated on a silicon chip measuring 3 mm× 3 mm and housed in a TO- I00 can. Though the process is considered quite sophisticated and difficult [9], the developer claimed that they can be marketed at a cost under US$15 apiece. Furthermore, an improved version with an operation range as low as 5g or lg has been announced [ 10]. Similar devices based on SIMOX SOI material [ 11 ] and thick epi-polysilicon have also been developed [ 12].Force-balanced microaccelerometers can be considered as one of the most successful MEMS at present. One reason for their success is that the sensing of acceleration by the seismic mass is through non-contact inertial force and the output is an electrical signal so that the whole system can be hermetically sealed in a package to ensure that the performance of the micromechanical structures would not behindered by any environmental interferences. The second reason is that accelerometers can find mass application in a variety of motioncontrol systems. A notable example is for mass applications in airbag control in automobiles. This kind of application spurred significant interest and investment from industry.Another inertial sensing device, the gyroscope, has a similar operation pattern to the accelerometer and can also find wide applications in motion control, including automotive applications such as traction control systems and ride-stabilization systems, consumer electronics applications such as video camera stabilization and model aircraft stabilization, computer applications such as an inertial mouse, robotics applications and, of course, military applications. Therefore, the micromechanical gyroscope has been receiving vigorous development efforts in recent years.As the high-speed rotation parts and bearings in a traditional gyroscope are difficult to miniaturize and batch fabricate by micromechanical technologies to produce low-cost devices, micromechanical gyroscopes are exclusively of vibrating types, including double-gimbals structure [13], cantilever beam structure [ 141, tuning-fork structure [15] and vibrating ring structure [ 16]. Among them the vibrating ring device is the most sophisticated one, which is developed by a LIGA-iike post-circuit process for incorporating highaspect- ratio electroformed metal microstructures with a CMOS circuit for control and readout electronics.Though none of these micromechanical gyroscopes has been commercialized yet, it is quite likely that some form of MEMS gyroscope will be mass produced in the near future.References[1] S.
