  • Abstract
    This paper describes the use of a novel design and simulation platform for piezoMEMS devices and systems. This platform called MEMS+ is part of a complete environment where the seamless link to standard EDA and CAD tools enables complete and easy system simulation. The methodology is applied to two piezodevices examples, a unimorph cantilever energy harvester and a piston micromirror.
