Abstract

This paper is concerned with the effect of material discontinuities, such as porosity, on the modulus of elasticity and attempts to simulate the effects of porosity in polysilicon using a finite element model. The proposed Young's modulus model is applied to the simulation of a polysilicon MEMS gyro. When the compensated Young's modulus is used in this simulation, we can reduce the difference between the simulation and the actual experimental result.
