This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) hold great promise for sensing and actuating on the micron scale. There is a hierarchy of increasing difficulty for placing MEMS devices in the field. Devices that do not allow contact between structural members rely mainly on mechanical properties of freestanding films. High-resolution techniques must be developed within the framework of MEMS to measure properties such as modulus and residual stress. When contact and rubbing contact are allowed, the complexities of adhesion and friction at the microscale must be understood and well controlled. Fluid interactions are similarly important for microfluidic devices. Packaging of MEMS for use in the field also requires special consideration, because it is often application specific. This book investigates various materials, characterization methods and processing techniques. These approaches represent different but useful strategies to solve MEMS challenges, and must be integrated for product realization. Topics include: deposition and characterization of Si; materials and processes for MEMS; tribology; dynamic optical characterization; packaging; LIGA; materials aspects; and characterization of MEMS processing.

This book was released on 2003-02-06 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expansion of micro-technology applications and rapid advances in nano-science have generated considerable interest by the Air Force in how these developments will affect the nature of warfare and how it could exploit these trends. The report notes four principal themes emerging from the current technological trends: increased information capability, miniaturization, new materials, and increased functionality. Recommendations about Air Force roles in micro- and nanotechnology research are presented including those areas in which the Air Force should take the lead. The report also provides a number of technical and policy findings and recommendations that are critical for effective development of the Air Force's micro- and nano-science and technology program

Download or read book Materials Science of Microelectromechanical Systems MEMS Devices III written by Harold Kahn and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) is a growing field with numerous potential commercial applications, including pressure and inertial sensing, optical and electrical switching, power conversion, fluidic flow control, and chemical analysis. MEMS combine mechanical and electrical (and sometimes optical, chemical, or biological) function at small scales using many of the batch fabrication techniques developed for the micro-electronics industry. Materials have been developed or adapted for MEMS applications for use as structures, actuators, and sensors. Processing techniques also have been established for integrating these materials with existing MEMS. In addition, MEMS technology has proven ideal for allowing the mechanical and tribological characterization of materials at small scales. This book, first published in 2001, addresses these issues and a variety of materials are discussed, including Si, porous Si, SiC, SiGe, diamond, electroplated Ni and Cu, as well as piezoelectric, ferroelectric, and shape memory materials, and self-assembled organic monolayers. Fabrication processes include plasma and chemical etching, Si bonding, high-aspect-ratio lithography and micromolding. In addition, the stress, fracture strength, fatigue, and friction of MEMS materials and structures are also discussed.

Download or read book Materials Science of Microelectromechanical Systems MEMS Devices IV written by Arturo A. Ayón and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) has been able to successfully acceded to several markets, including pressure sensors, gyroscopes, accelerometers, fluidics and data storage, representing a total revenue of some $2 billion in 2000. However, MEMS has the potential to offer reliable and cost-effective solutions to many other fields. The current expectation is that we will witness the appearance of diverse MEMS structures for power generation, propulsion, biomedical applications, optical switching, infrared sensing, microphones and displays, to name just a few. This plethora of activity is possible due to the increased understanding of the properties of the micromanufacturing materials involved, the availability of processing equipment with enhanced capabilities, and the effort of a large number of researchers and scientists. This book, first published in 2002, focuses on the materials science of MEMS structures and the films involved to create those structures. Topics include: applications metrology; mechanical properties; microstructure and processing; applications; processing techniques; alternative materials; and surface engineering issues in MEMS structures and devices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interest in wide-bandgap semiconductors for high-power/high-temperature electronics remains prominent. For such applications, SiC is by far the most mature semiconductor material. GaN and diamond, however, have also become prime candidates. While diamond has several advantages over the other two materials, producing large single crystals, as well as the inability to achieve n-type doping, have limited device fabrication. For GaN, recent advances in crystal growth and processing capabilities, as well as excellent transport properties, have yielded a great deal of device development, yet thermal conduction remains an issue. SiC has excellent thermal conductivity, high-breakdown voltages, and well-developed substrates and processing techniques. This book deals with a wide range of technical activity in the area of wide-bandgap high-power/high-temperature electronic devices and covers topics including the fabrication and performance of GaN-based and SiC-based devices, as well as issues related to growth, characterization, and processing of wide-bandgap materials. Several summaries of the current status of the field are provided.
