Abstract
The goal of this project is to show that the use of behavioral modeling, in conjunction with current VLSI CAD tools,will aid in the rapid prototyping of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and also in the area of design automation. A behavioral model of the cantilever beam (a basic MEMS device) is used as an instrument to demonstrate how such models may be utilized. The first example demonstrates how to extend finite element analysis capabilities to an existing design tool. Second, an example including the cantilever beam model is used to demonstrate the usefulness of modeling in the area of simulation, which is of great importance for the rapid prototyping of systems. Finally an example is given to show how the cantilever beam model may be utilized to aid in the area of design automation.
