Abstract
We present the use of stochastic resonance in a MEMSslider
for improvement of its sensing capability. Using
a Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) based process local instabilities
can be realized by designing suitable geometries
for capacitive structures. By controlling the strength of
these capacitive wells by a DC voltage and adding a particular
level of noise, exploiting the effect of stochastic
resonance (SR) it is expected to be possible to detect
sub-threshold forces.
