  • Abstract
    This paper presents an overview of the important issues in the field of TCAD MEMS. It will be shown different techniques to investigate the materials properties of MEMS and their impact on the RF MEMS characteristics. Multi-physic simulation are presented to predict the initial deformation of MEMS based membrane and to predict the capacitive and DC contact characteristics of RF MEMS.
