Thrust 1: Physics of Failure of Contacting MEMs Devices  

Objectives:

  1. Develop an improved understanding of fundamental science governing the operation of MEMs/NEMs devices which make contact.
  2. Implement this understanding into physics-based models that emulate the underlying principles and allow for extrapolation of performance and lifetime improvements.
  3. Validate both the physics and resulting models with test structures and actual switches.
