Abstract :
This paper presents analysis of transient response of a MEMS cantilever based binary logic inverter. The design of the cantilever structures have been optimized with finite element method based simulation in Coventorware platform and system level simulation in Saber Architect platform. Analysis of the turn-on and turn-off time for the inverter has been attempted with analytical and numerical techniques. A ring oscillator has been designed with the inverter to estimate the propagation delay through the device.
