Improved micro-contact resistance model that considers material deformation, electron transport and thin film characteristics [PDF]
, 2009 This paper reports on an improved analytic model forpredicting micro-contact resistance needed for designing microelectro-mechanical systems (MEMS) switches. The originalmodel had two primary considerations: 1) contact materialdeformation (i.e.
