Designing MEMS microphones from concept

Designing MEMS microphones from concept

MEMS microphone devices
Knowles Corporation discusses how they use Tanner L-Edit to quickly design MEMS microphones that employ complex polygonal and curved-structure geometry. Pete Loeppert, Vice President of research and development presents his team’s approach to MEMS design. He states, “High–end EDA tools are better suited to Manhattan-style geometry and keeping things ‘square,’ but everything we do in MEMS is circular. With L-Edit, I can go from concept to finished GDSII in about two weeks. There’s never been anything as easy to use for this as Tanner tools.”
