Modelling of Spring Constant and Pull-down Voltage of Non-uniform RF MEMS Cantilever Incorporating Stress Gradient

We have presented a model for spring constant and pull-down voltage of a non-uniform radio frequency microelectromechanical systems (RF MEMS) cantilever that works on electrostatic actuation. The residual stress gradient in the beam material that may arise during the fabrication process is also cons...
