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 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.

This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) have transitioned from a technology niche to a role of major industrial significance. The worldwide market for MEMS is now approximately $10 billion, and the total value of systems enabled by MEMS is several orders of magnitude higher than this figure. As the market has grown, the material and process sets have broadened and departed from their semiconductor roots. In addition to engineering materials, there is now great interest in integrating multifunctional nanomaterials, smart materials and biomaterials within MEMS/NEMS to enhance functionality, performance and reliability. The opportunities created by this integration have generated a vibrant research community working on new materials and processes. This book reflects the breadth of topics currently under investigation in the field. Novel materials and accompanying processes are discussed, as are more conventional materials and processes. Consistent themes are the need for accurate material property assessment at the relevant length scales and for suitable metrology tools to support the introduction of new materials.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microelectromenchanical systems (MEMS) is a revolutionary field that adapts for new uses a technology already optimized to accomplish a specific set of objectives. The silicon-based integrated circuits process is so highly refined it can produce millions of electrical elements on a single chip and define their critical dimensions to tolerances of 100-billionths of a meter. The MEMS revolution harnesses the integrated circuitry know-how to build working microsystems from micromechanical and microelectronic elements. MEMS is a multidisciplinary field involving challenges and opportunites for electrical, mechanical, chemical, and biomedical engineering as well as physics, biology, and chemistry. As MEMS begin to permeate more and more industrial procedures, society as a whole will be strongly affected because MEMS provide a new design technology that could rivalâ€"perhaps surpassâ€"the societal impact of integrated circuits.

This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is part of a popular series on the materials science of MEMS devices, first published in 1999. In the years since, many sophisticated devices have emerged and many aspects of MEMS materials behaviors have been characterized. However, there remain many basic questions about the relationship between process, properties and function for MEMS materials. Experimental methods have been developed, but there REMAINS a lack of standardization that would allow comparison between laboratories and commercial vendors or the creation of materials specifications that would enable greater commercialization of MEMS. The book addresses many of these issues including: RF-MEMS; optical MEMS; MEMS metrology, tribology, materials characterization and mechanical behavior; MEMS surfaces, MEMS reliability, packaging and life assessment; MEMS modeling and software tools for materials integration; biocompatibility of MEMS materials and devices; new materials and fabrication methodologies for MEMS; microfluidics and nanofluidics; in vivo drug/gene/protein delivery; novel actuators; MEMS cell-based systems; MEMS neural interfaces; MEMS sensors; and MEMS microengines and microfuel cells.
