However, MEMS variable parallel plate capacitors often experience deformation of the movable plate, then the electric filed becomes nonuniform and the expression of calculating the capacitance and the pull-in voltage becomes invalid. In this paper, we model the deformation of the movable plate and analyze the mechanical behavior of the capacitors.
For electrostatically actuated parallel plate variable capacitors in conventional theory, pull-in occurs when the deflection of the movable plate is one-third of the original air gap. However, the electrostatic force is nonlinear, only the center of the movable plate nearly fully reached their maximum displacement when pull in occurs.
An infinite parallel plate capacitor with a dielectric inside We consider an infinitely long parallel plate capacitor problem in two-dimensional continuum as illustrated in Fig. 3. The red lines are the top and bottom plates made of a conductor (metal). The origin of the coordinate system is located at the center of the capacitor.
When studying a finite parallel plate capacitor problem, edge effects need to be considered in order to improve the accuracy of the capacitance results. Kirchhoff studied a circular parallel plate capacitor problem in 1877, and gave an equation for the capacitance with fringing effect .
A parallel-plate capacitor has square plates of length L separated by distance d and is filled with a dielectric. A second capacitor has square plates of length 3L separated by distance 3 d and has air as its dielectric. Both capacitors have the same capacitance. Determine the relative permittivity of the dielectric in the first capacitor. Answer:
Electric field distribution as obtained in Sect. 3 around the edge of a two-dimensional parallel plate capacitor model These ideal capacitance equations assume that the electric field is uniform and also perpendicular to the capacitor electrodes. These simple forms fail to account for fringing effect (also called edge effect).
