MEMS EDA Import and Simulation

Design engineers can import full 3D high-fidelity models of MEMS devices created in Tanner, an EDA tool from Mentor®, and SoftMEMS®, a process simulation tool for the creation of realistic 3D CAD of as-manufactured MEMS devices, into OnScale to run cloud engineering simulations and fully understand the performance of MEMS devices. Find out how you can benefit from this integrated workflow with our simulation guide.

PMUT 3D

PMUTs are often set up in an array formation for imaging purposes. The OnScale software allows the simulation of large 3D arrays enabling a full understanding of its performance. 0.1 min 0.003 Core-Hours

FBAR 3D

Simulating an FBAR in 3D allows designers to capture the filter's full performance. This model was created in SoftMEMS® from a GSDII mask layout and process steps. The multiphysics analysis of the model is run in OnScale. 1 hr 29 min 2.97 Core-Hours

SAW 3D

By simulating SAW filters starting from a 3D full model, engineers can derive all KPIs of interest and optimize based on customer’s requirements. A range of parasitic effects can be accounted for, which allows engineers to avoid carrying undesirable performance into production. 32 min 2.13 Core-Hours
