Microelectromechanical systems designMEMS, or micro-electro-mechanical-systems, are tiny devices often made from silicon, utilizing processes similar to those used for semiconductor chip production. The primary difference is that a MEMS device usually has a mechanical actuating element, such as cantilever, tilting micro-mirror, or moving membrane. The microelectromechanical systems design is a natural extension of SmarCom's expertise in the area of electronic design automation (EDA) and microelectronics. SmartCom identified it as a strategic area for development in 2006. Since then Smartcom has established partnership with the two leading universities in Bulgaria: Technical University - Sofia and Sofia University. Our team of highly qualified engineers is working in the field of MEMS design, modeling and characterization. Since the complex, precise MEMS product development requires more than a clean room, processing equipment and skilled operators, modeling tools are used to simulate the design performance before fabrication expenses are incurred. Smartcom's design flow includes: MathWorks Matlab Cadence IC (Virtuoso, Spectre, Assura) Verilog-A modeling Ansys Multiphysics
