    Symmetric Electret-Based Vibration Energy Harvesters With Curved-Beam Hinges
    (IEEE, 2023-05-28) Hah, Dooyoung
    Broadband power spectral characteristics are desirable in vibration energy harvesters, and it can be achieved by employing curved-beam hinges, which exhibit force-displacement nonlinearity. Via numerical analysis by using stochastic differential equations and colored-noise inputs, this study shows that a symmetric configuration of the curved-beam hinges in electret-based harvesters can produce higher (up to 8% more) power outputs than an asymmetric one. It also presents that the harvesters with curved-beam hinges can produce higher (up to 4.4 times) power outputs than those with straight hinges when the vibration magnitude is 0.05g.

    Planar Mems Variable Optical Attenuators (VOAs) With Linear Attenuation-Voltage Characteristics
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019-05) Hah, Dooyoung
    Variable optical attenuators (VOAs) are essential components in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) networks, light waveform generators, and optical fiber test equipment. Among various types of planar MEMS VOAs, a shutter type and a reflective type have been most frequently studied so far. In a shutter type, a knife-edge-like beam blocker is inserted in between the butt-coupled input and output fibers, partially obstructing the coupling between the fibers. In a reflective type, a mirror that is placed in the optical path controls the alignment between the fibers to result in attenuation. The movement of the shutter or the mirror is controlled by MEMS actuators, such as comb-drive actuators. In most of the planar MEMS VOAs reported, the relationship between the attenuation and the control voltage has been highly nonlinear. This nonlinearity results in uneven resolution throughout the attenuation range. Although this nonlinearity can be addressed by employing a control system, a structure-based solution is preferred, which can curtail the requirement of power consumption, and prevent control instability issues. In this study, shaped-finger comb-drive actuators are used to obtain a linear relationship between the control voltage and the attenuation in planar MEMS VOAs. Two types, i.e. shutter-type and reflective-type, of VOAs are examined. First, the objective differential equation is established based on attenuation-displacement relationships, electrostatic/mechanical force balance equation, and the design objective (linearity) equation. Then, the differential equation (in terms of 2-D comb capacitance) is solved by using the Euler's method, and the finger gaps are calculated by using a conformal mapping method. When a single comb-drive actuator is used, an excluded zone needs to be introduced around the region of small displacement. Effects of the width of the excluded zone to the device characteristics are studied. The issue of zone exclusion can be addressed by adopting dual (control and bias) combs. The effects of design parameters to the VOA performances are studied. It is shown that the planar MEMS VOAs with linear attenuation-voltage relationships can be designed successfully by using the proposed method. © 2020 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    Effects of Curved-Beam Heights to Harvested Energy in a Blanaced Comb-Drive Configuration
    (IEEE, 2021-08-25) Hah, Dooyoung
    Energy harvesting devices have been gaining increasing interests, especially in the areas of internet of things (IoTs) and sensor networks. Due to the broadband and random nature of typical vibration energy sources available in the environment, significant amount of research efforts have been put into the bandwidth broadening of the energy harvesters. Utilization of spring nonlinearity has been one of the most studied subject in that regard. In this work, response of an energy harvesting device with curved-beam springs to colorednoise vibration is studied numerically, based on stochastic differential equations. The harvester considered in this study is an electrostatic type with electrets and a balanced comb-drive configuration. The study mainly focuses on the effect of the beam height to the harvested power. The results show that curved-beam springs can increase the harvested electric power by 52% (2.69 mW versus 1.77 mW) in comparison to straight-beam springs of the same dimensions. Buckling-induced rapid snapping of the curved beams is attributed to such a power increase.

    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.
