[eng] Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) are relevant components for the diversification and integration of functionalities into a single heterogeneous chip or package in the known More than Moore approach. This thesis contributes to this field by exploiting the possibilities of mature CMOS technologies to develop chaotic CMOS-MEMS resonators with higher performance than obtained until now and supporting its potential application in compact chaos-based secure communication systems. Specifically, this work deals with the analysis, design and experimental demonstration of chaotic electrical signal generation using simple MEMS structures with a high degree of integration and scalability in CMOS technologies and others. The work anal...
