This model is built for a silicon-based, double-clamped (source and drain), double-gate beam. The model takes into account capacitive modulation with the two gates, piezoresistive modulation through the beam and electrical parasitic elements.

Description

Micro/Nanoelectromechanical systems (M/NEMS) are gaining great momentum and interest in a variety of
applications, such as high-sensitivity mass sensing, tunable signal filtering and precision timing. They possess
inherently high quality factors and can provide narrow bandwidth operation. This model is built for a silicon-based, double-clamped (source and drain), double-gate (back and side gate) beam. The model takes into account capacitive modulation with the two gates, piezoresistive modulation through the beam and electrical parasitic elements.

Notes

While this model is built for a double-gate silicon beam, currently, only behaviors associated with out-of-plane vibrations induced by a back gate excitation are valid. The side gate capacitance is set to be static in the model.
