A propos de cet article

Hardcover. While the first generation of MEMS books comprehensively cover fabrication techniques, a lack of industry standards has created a void of books providing cohesive guidance on the design and analysis of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) across their wide range of innovative and varied applications. This book is the first to fill the void with 18 chapters written by leading experts worldwide covering topics such as transducer operations, topology simulation, and modeling, free-space microsystems, interface circuitry, magnetic, mechanical, chemical, thermal, and fluid microsensors, biomedical microsystems, integrated micro-optics, microactuators, and micromachining. The chapters address issues of alternative designs, reliability, performance, production, packaging, and cost effectiveness in the context of appropriate applications including automotive, biomedical, consumer, building, and industrial products. Many market studies indicate not only a tremendous market potential of MEMS devices; This means that companies with an established track record in these branches need to adapt their skills, whereas companies that want to enter the "miniaturization" market need to establish an entirely new set of capabil ities.

Synopsis

The void created by a lack of industry standards has been filled with the arrival of this cohesive guide on the design and analysis of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). Earlier MEMS books have comprehensively covered fabrication techniques, but this book's eighteen chapters written by leading experts from across the world cover a broad range of topics from transducer operations to interface circuitry, microacutators and microchanining. Issues addressed include alternative designs, reliability and cost effectiveness in the context of appropriate applications. The book satisfies a demand for literature on analysis and design of microsystems and will interest engineering and research scientists in industry and academia.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Does MEMS technology offer advantages to your company's products? Will miniature machines on a chip solve your application objectives for ôsmaller, better, cheaper, and faster'ö If you are a product development engineer or manager, the decision to design a MEMS device implies having an application and market. This book offers you a practical guide to making this important business decision. Here, both veterans and newcomers to MEMS device design will get advice on evaluating MEMS for their business, followed by guidance on selecting solutions, technologies and design support tools. You will see how experts from around the world have explored MEMS possibilities and achieved new breakthrough devices such as RF-MEMS for mobile telecommunications, micro-optics for internet hardware, catheter-based minimal-invasive operating theatre tools, and in vivo monitoring of exact dosage of medication in ailing patients. This handbook offers a wealth of analytical techniques treating problematic areas such as alternative designs reliability, packaging, and cost effectiveness.
