4 pts) You are working in a MEMS process with a single, 10 micron thick polySi layer that can be released and suspended above the substrate. The minimum feature size (both line and space) in your process is 2 microns. We will define the z-axis to be out of the wafer plane and the x-axis and y-axis to be in the plane of the wafer. Design an accelerometer geometry that has a displacement sensitivity of 1 micron/G where 1 G

An external consultant recommends that a plant installs a bank of capacitors for power factor correction. this will reduce the peak electrical demand charges by an average of 93 kw every month. the plant current pays $13 per kw in peak demand charges. the capacitor bank will include 223 kw of fixed capacitors, and 183 of variable capacitors. the fixed capacitors cost $59 per kw, and the variable capacitors will cost $65 per kw. the consultant charges 21% of the equipment costs to install the capacitors. because this project will reduce the demand for the electric utility, they are prepared to provide a one-time rebate of $42 per kw of reduced demand. what is the simple payback period for this project (in years)?
