Reliability Design and Electro-Thermal-Optical Simulation of Bridge-Style Infrared Thermal Emitters

Designs and simulations of silicon-based micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) infrared (IR) thermal emitters for gas sensing application are presented. The IR thermal emitter is designed as a bridge-style hotplate (BSH) structure suspended on a silicon frame for realizing a good thermal isolation...
