The thermodynamic model as common base for modeling integrated microsensors and smart electronic devices

Abstract

A systematic approach towards problem-oriented modeling of integrated systems of mi-crosensors and actuators and smart electronic devices is presented. The use of a universal description of microsystems on the base of phenomenological irreversible thermodynamics allows to deduce "tailored" model equations for each individual system component and, moreover, for assembling the constituent components in a self-consistent and physically proper way. By our methodology a well-structured partition of the system simulation problem is achieved, suggesting the application of domain decomposition and parallelization techniques. Since all physical parameter models (transport coefficients, equations of state etc.) may be interpreted in terms of phenomenological (i.e., measurable) quantities, tailored modeling strongly benefits from the availability of a process-oriented material-property data base.
