    Design of Wide-Band Tunable Optical Filters With Cascaded Microring Resonators and Shaped-Finger Comb-Drive Actuators
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2016-05) Hah, Dooyoung
    Utilizing the Vernier effect, series coupling of multiple microring resonators with different sizes is used to design a wide-band (free spectral range: 36 nm) tunable filter. For index modulators that shift the filter spectrum by changing effective indices through evanescent coupling, silicon waveguides are considered, which make the fabrication simpler. Effects of the index modulator width to the filter characteristics are studied. A narrower modulator (width: 50 nm) does not incur much loss to the resonator, but requires hopping among several bands since its tuning effect is moderate. On the other hand, a wider modulator (width: 100 nm) can cover the full free spectral range without band hopping, but induces severe loss when it is close to the resonator. The shaped-finger comb-drive actuator design method is applied to obtain linear drop channel control. © 2017 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    Design of Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers (Cmuts) on a Flexible Substrate for Intravascular Ultrasonography (Ivus) Applications
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017-05) Hah, Dooyoung; Je, Changhan; Lee, Sung Q.
    Effects of substrate bending to the characteristics of capacitive miniaturized ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs) on a flexible substrate are studied through finite element analysis (FEA) for the design purpose. The target application of the devices is intravascular ultrasonography (IVUS) where transducers are brought to the proximity of the imaging targets so that high resolution images can be obtained without much concern of signal attenuation. In order to eliminate mechanical rotation used in the conventional IVUS, the transducer array can be manufactured on a flexible substrate and to wrap it around a cylindrical frame. It can be anticipated that the characteristics of the transducers will be altered by such bending of the substrate through geometrical dimension changes and stress induced. Pull-in voltages and resonant frequencies of CMUTs were studied via FEA for various bending radii and membrane thicknesses. It was found that both pull-in voltages and resonant frequencies become smaller for the transducers on a bent substrate compared to the ones on a flat substrate. It was also found that pull-in voltages decrease as the substrate bending radius is reduced. © 2017 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    Analytical Design of Linear Variable Capacitors With Shaped-Finger Comb-Drive Actuators
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018-05) Hah, Dooyoung
    Variable capacitors have a broad usage in radio frequency (RF) circuits. Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology can provide variable capacitors with high quality factor and wide tuning range characteristics. One of the design goals for MEMS varactors has been linear capacitance- voltage (C-V) characteristics. To design a linear C-V varactor, a shaped-finger comb-drive actuator is proposed in this paper. The shaped-finger design method, originally developed to obtain linear wavelength-voltage relationships in a tunable optical filter, is modified in this work for a linear C-V varactor, which involves development of a new governing equation. Moreover, conformal mapping is employed in calculation of capacitances, making the whole design process almost all-analytical with the minimum usage of numerical analysis methods. Variable capacitors with the shaped-finger design show linearity factor (LF) - defined as the maximum deviation from the perfect linear relationship - as low as 0.4%, tremendously improved from that of the conventional constant-finger-gap devices (LF: 49.9%). The characteristics of the designed variable capacitor are further investigated through 3-D numerical analysis, and show LF better than 11.5% for the finger thickness in the range between 1 and 10 micrometers. Versatility of the design method is further demonstrated by design of a varactor with linear resonant frequency-voltage (f-V) characteristics for voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) applications. The developed analytical design method with shaped fingers can find a wide range of applications where comb-drive actuators are used. © 2018 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    An Fem Study of Die Attach Packaging Effect on Nanomechanical Si Optical Filters
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017-05) Seok, Seonho; Hah, Dooyoung
    This paper presents a finite element analysis of die attach packaging stress effect on emerging nanomechanical silicon optical filters. The proposed silicon optical filter is composed of Si waveguides and a microring resonator having a few hundred nm in thickness and a few tens of μm in length. Photonic integrated circuit is typically implemented by attaching a new component to a common ceramic interposer with other components. Such an attachment process would be a cause of unwanted performance deviation of MEMS or NEMS devices due to the packaging stress. Therefore, an FEM model has been used to evaluate deflection and stress of NEMS waveguides and microring resonators which are main elements for the proposed optical filter. © 2017 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
