Life in our planet is highly dependent on plants as they are the primary source of food,
regulators of the atmosphere, and providers of a variety of materials. In this work, we review …

The long-term reliability of MEMS devices related to the dielectric charging phenomenon is
one of the main hurdles in the commercialization of these devices. This paper presents a …

In this paper, we investigate the impact of environment gases and relative humidity on
dielectric charging phenomenon in electrostatically actuated micro-and nano …

In this work, for the first time different stiction mechanisms in electrostatic micro-
electromechanical systems (MEMS) switches were studied. In these devices stiction can be …

The movement or migration of charges in dielectric materials like silicon oxide, silicon nitride
and glass, is recognized as one of the most significant causes of drift instability of MEMS …

This work presents a novel characterization methodology for the dielectric charging
phenomenon in electrostatically driven MEMS devices using Kelvin probe force microscopy …

The dependence of the electrical properties of silicon nitride, which is a commonly used
dielectric in nano-and micro-electromechanical systems (NEMS and MEMS), on the …

This work presents a novel failure analysis technique for the dielectric charging
phenomenon in electrostatically driven MEMS devices. The new reliability assessment …

This research examines the effect of hydrolytic decomposition on the work function of
polyurethane-ester rain erosion coatings (REC). Aluminum panels (AA2024-T3) coated with …

RF final test measurements include the DC to RF performance of components and are
therefore included on the system offsets measurements to compensate for the deviations …
