Microsystems and Nanotechnology
- An overview of the basic science and engineering of microelectronics and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) is presented: fundamental concepts of semiconductors and mechanics; microfabrication processes and surface micromachining; electrostatic sensing and actuation. CAD-based MEMS design and visualization software is taught and used for student group design projects. Course includes and introduction to the sub-100 nanometer scale aspects of chemistry, physics and biology, and how these aspects can be combined to provide solutions to engineering problems. Recent applications will be presented as case studies, including sensors, biology and medicine, electronics, and new materials. Principles of operation of several measurement techniques that underpin this field will be presented, as will social, legal and ethical aspects of applied microsystems and nanoscience. (Spring)
