Overview
IntelliSuite is a MEMS design and verification tool The software can simulate actual steps in a fabrication process to develop a 3-D model of a MEMS device The developed 3-D model can then be used to perform 3-D simulations such as Electrostatic, Mechanical, Thermal or Coupled thermoelectro-mechanical simulations using finite element analysis method Microfluidics Electromagnetic Electrokinetics Packaging System level simulation Macro-model extraction

IntelliMask
Single Mask Multilayer Mask Convert (DXF, GDSII) The IntelliSuite GDSII file converter provides several options. Users can convert all cells, or just selected cells, of a multi-cell multi-level *.gds file into multi-layer *.msk files. A multi-layer *.msk file will be generated for each selected cell, and also for each sub cell of the selected cell

Mematerial
Mematerial is a powerful, easy-to-use simulation tool for the mechanical, electrical, and optical modeling of thin films deposited on silicon substrates. Applications include the design of: Microsensors and microactuators Integrated circuits Device packaging Other silicon microstructures The software presents data on the properties of materials in two- and three dimensional graphs as well as in tables All data are experimentally verified New values can be predicted using interpolation and extrapolation

Elements Construction
Gaps and overlaps cannot exist anywhere along the common edge when a continuous structure is modeled. The adjacent edges either must both be straight, or they must have compatible curvatures.

An electrostatic comb drive is a kind of resonator that is actuated electrostatically. The movement of the free comb due to electrostatic excitation changes the capacitance among the comb fingers, which is sensed and used to drive some other micro structure
