  • Abstract
    For the transient analysis of bridge membrane, a lumped element model is developed. The developed model is employed for analyzing the effect of increased thermal mass on the thermal time response and steady state power consumption. The model is compared with the FEM simulation results and is in close agreement, with a maximum error of 3.2% and 8% in transient response and power calculations respectively. With 8 μm thick nitride layer, the time constant has increased by 72.95%.
