Electrolyte Stability Determines Scaling Limits for Solid-State 3D Li Ion Batteries

Submitted by Jianyu Huang on
 
Rechargeable, all-solid-state Li ion batteries (LIBs) with high specific
capacity and small footprint are highly desirable to power an emerging
class of miniature, autonomous microsystems that operate without a
hardwire for power or communications. A variety of three-dimensional
(3D) LIB architectures that maximize areal energy density has been
proposed to address this need. The success of all of these designs
depends on an ultrathin, conformal electrolyte layer to electrically

Webinar: How Can IntelliSuite v8.7 Benefit MEMS Research and Teaching

Submitted by BShiari on

IntelliSuite was the first MEMS-specific CAD tool and has been under
development for over 20 years.  In this free webinar, understand how this
industry-standard software can help MEMS designers, process engineers,
and professors save time and costs in the development cycle, share their
designs with others, and teach students about MEMS. The webinar will
cover: process development using virtual fabrication tools, etch recipe
development using process simulators, design rule checking and
cross-sectioning tools for MEMS layout, design exploration and
optimization using behavioral and parametric modeling, recent
developments in automated meshing algorithms, discussion of coupled
FEM-BEM solvers for MEMS multiphysics analysis, linking MEMS models to
