E-raamat: MEMS and Microsystems: Design, Manufacture, and Nanoscale Engineering

This text for professionals and advanced engineering students covers the electrical and mechanical aspects of microelectromechanical systems. Following a brief introduction to the history and evolution of nanotechnology, the book covers fundamentals in the engineering design of nanostructures, including fabrication techniques for producing nano-products, engineering design principles in molecular dynamics, and fluid flows and heat transmission in nanoscale substances. This second edition reflects changes in the science and technology of miniaturization over the last five years since the first edition was published. It contains a new section on nanoscale engineering, plus expanded material on microfabrication, assembly and packaging technologies, and use of the popular SU-8 polymer material. Examples, case studies, and applied problems are included. Hsu is professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at San Jose State University.

Technology/Engineering/Mechanical

A bestselling MEMS text...now better than ever.

An engineering design approach to Microelectromechanical Systems, MEMS and Microsystems remains the only available text to cover both the electrical and the mechanical aspects of the technology. In the five years since the publication of the first edition, there have been significant changes in the science and technology of miniaturization, including microsystems technology and nanotechnology. In response to the increasing needs of engineers to acquire basic knowledge and experience in these areas, this popular text has been carefully updated, including an entirely new section on the introduction of nanoscale engineering.

Following a brief introduction to the history and evolution of nanotechnology, the author covers the fundamentals in the engineering design of nanostructures, including fabrication techniques for producing nanoproducts, engineering design principles in molecular dynamics, and fluid flows and heat transmission in nanoscale substances.

Other highlights of the Second Edition include:
*

Expanded coverage of microfabrication plus assembly and packaging technologies
*

The introduction of microgyroscopes, miniature microphones, and heat pipes
*

Design methodologies for thermally actuated multilayered device components
*

The use of popular SU-8 polymer material

Supported by numerous examples, case studies, and applied problems to facilitate understanding and real-world application, the Second Edition will be of significant value for both professionals and senior-level mechanical or electrical engineering students.
