Unique design tool for MEMS
MEMSolver is one of its kind MEMS analytical software. It is designed
specifically for development of MEMS devices. Unlike some numerical
analysis and finite element analysis software, MEMSolver has ready made models and its associated
mathematics wrapped up into one. It supports all the major steps
involved in MEMS development from design to post
clean-room processing.
Ready made analytical models
MEMSolver works by creating a mathematical model of the
system and generates analytical solutions to explain the
behavior of the MEMS device. MEMSolver has a wide range
of analytical models that represents the most commonly
used micro electro mechanical systems.
Device design and process design
capabilities
MEMSolver has system level models
for micro electro-mechanical-thermal modeling for device
design along with
models for some of the most widely used semiconductor
processes used in MEMS fabrication. No need to buy
separate software for these jobs.
Mechanics, Sensing, Actuation,
Process and Data analysis modules
Mechanics module deals with
structures, vibration and damping and microfluidics. Sensing deals with
piezoresistive, electrostatic and piezoelectric sensing schemes.
Thermal, electrostatic and piezoelectric actuation are analyzed in
actuation module. Process module deals with all the
major semiconductor processes including simulation of
diffusion and implantation. Data analysis module deals
with post processing including yield estimation.
No coding or programming skills
required
Existing software tools for MEMS
design based on numerical and finite element simulation
require its users to have extensive knowledge and
theoretical background of the physics applied to these
micro scale devices. Also experience in coding and
programming skills are required before a successful
model can be created. Sometimes a new programming
language will have to be learned. MEMSolver does away
with all these hurdles and makes MEMS design and
development less painful.
Results at the click of a button
The user just has to enter the input parameters like
length and width of the beam for example in a user
friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI) like textboxes,
and the software will immediately calculate the relevant
results. This result file can be saved for later
reference.
Command line input
Along with the GUI based modeling,
MEMSolver also accepts a command line input. The output
from the design form can be represented by a single line
of command. This helps to store the model as a single
line of text which can be used later to recreate the
model. It can be used for easy storage and retrieval of
the model.
Graphical representation of results
The output from the model can be
plotted which helps the user to better understand the
behavior of the system. X-Y plots, 2D and 3D surface
plots along with animation are available. Such graphs are provided with
every design form. The graphs are provided with
crosshair tool which helps the user to read out the data
values directly from the graph. The data can also be
streamed out and saved. There is zoom facility. The
graph can be printed and saved as an image.
Extensive help files
Every design form is provided with
a help file that gives a good theoretical explanation of
the particular phenomena analyzed in the design form. It
helps even a novice or a student to grasp the idea and
prepares him to interpret the results correctly. It is
equivalent to referring several text books.
Unbeatable price
Most commercially available software
tools are very expensive which makes it difficult to
justify its purchase. MEMSolver is offered at a fraction
of the cost so that individual developers and even
students can afford to buy it along with established
companies working in the field of MEMS. |
