Abstract |
Selection lines (SLs) of nanoelectromechanical (NEM) memory switches are optimized for stress relief by using finite-element-method (FEM) simulation. According to the simulation results, as the length of SL (LSL) decreases, pull-in voltage (VPI) increases while the maximum stress (σmax) concentrated at the anchor of a movable beam decreases. Thus, it is important to determine optimal LSL to achieve better reliability while maintaining VPI. |
