Modeling and simulation of polysilicon piezoresistors in a CMOS-MEMS resonator for mass detection

This paper reports modeling and simulation of polysilicon piezoresistors as sensing mechanism using commercial 0.35 μm complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process. The CMOS-MEMS resonator is designed to detect change in mass. The designed piezoresistors are composed of two types; longitu...
