Remote MEMS Simulation, Testing and Design A Next Generation Internet Incubator James Demmel CITRIS Chief Scientist
Remote MEMS Simulation, Testing and Design • MEMS = MicroElectroMechanicalSystems • Core CITRIS Sensor/Actuator Technology • Goal: Make tools for designing MEMS available to remote users • Simulation, Fabrication, Testing • Academic and Industrial users (thousands) • Leverage large investment in networking and unique facilities at UCB and elsewhere
BSAC Microscopic StroboscopicInterferometer (Muller, Rembe, BSAC, UCB)
SUGAR(Pister, Demmel, Govindjee, Agogino, Gu, Bai) • MEMS Simulation Tool, inspired by SPICE • Available as Web service on Millennium • Currently 100s of users • Ex: Laterally actuated torsionally suspended micromirror
Matisse Project (DARPA) • Provide remote access to unique and mostly MEMS facilities for large user community • Provide central facility (MEMS Exchange) to organize national networkof MEMS testing sites • Use SuperNet infrastructure • DARPA supported (UCB, LBL, CMU, MIT, CNRI, ISI, Sarnoff)
Current MEMS ExchangeFabrication Sites and Participating Sites 1100 registered users • Fabrication Sites Under Contract: • Academic: • University of California at Berkeley • Stanford University • Cornell University • University of Michigan • Case Western Reserve University • University of Illinois • LSU/Center for Advanced Microstructures and Devices (expected soon) • Commercial: • Analog Devices • Teledyne Electronics • Microwave Bonding Inc. • Integrated Sensing Systems (ISSYS) • Sony Semiconductor • Tactical Fabs, Inc. • Zygo TeraOptics, Inc. • Advanced MEMS Optical, Inc. • ASML • Lance Goddard Assoc. • Intelligent Micropatterning, LLC
Notes: Site/network connection operational Site/network connection expected to be operational soon Site/network connection down due to NTON network turn down Peering with other networks SuperNet
Needs and Potential Impact • West Coast down because NTON down • Even if NTON were up, if would not reach all potential users • How many users? • Currently 1100 registered MEMS Exchange users • Hundreds of SUGAR users • More signed up (UCD, UCLA, Stanford, BSAC industrial affiliates) • Intend to export as educational facility • Large potential user base, high leverage • Requirements • Move and store 80 GB data files • Raw data from experimental platforms up to 300MBs/ • Real time data from UCB Interferometer = 80 MB/s • Real time control of experiment => ?? Latency • Impact • Greatly expand MEMS community
A Next Generation Internet Incubator • CommerceNet-funded NGI • http://www.commerce.net • At Bancroft/Shattuck in shared CCIT space • http://www.path.berkeley.edu/PATH/CCIT/Default.htm • Companies will incubate and collaborate with CITRIS faculty and students • Kalil, Demmel, Sastry, Teece (advisors) • http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~demmel/CommerceNet • Companies chosen for closeness to CITRIS • Mankoff working with Pangea on access for people with disabilities • Resources available, contact Tom Kalil (tkalil@coe.berkeley.edu)
