Noise in MEMS
Abstract
This review provides a comprehensive survey of noise research in MEMS. Some background on noise and on MEMS is provided. We review noise production mechanisms, and highlight work on the theory and modeling of noise in MEMS. Then noise measurements in the specific types of MEMS are reviewed. Inertial MEMS (accelerometers and angular rate sensors), pressure and acoustic sensors, optical MEMS, RF MEMS, surface acoustic wave devices, flow sensors, and chemical and biological MEMS, as well as data storage devices and magnetic MEMS, are reviewed. We indicate opportunities for additional experimental and computational research on noise in MEMS.
