Title
Optimized design and process for making a DC voltage reference based on MEMS
Abstract
A micromechanical moving plate capacitor has been designed and fabricated for use as a dc voltage reference. The refer- ence is based on the characteristic pull-in property of a capacitive microelectromechanical system (MEMS) component. The design is optimized for stability. A new silicon-on-insulator (SOI) process has been developed to manufacture the component. We also report on improved feedback electronics and the latest measurement re- sults.
