AbstractStudents are introduced to microsensor and microsystem technology, the different materials and associated micromachining and fabrication techniques. They become acquainted with fundamentals of different transducers and their applications.
ObjectiveStudents are introduced to microsensor and microsystem technology. The students will get to know the different materials (silicon, glass, plastics) and the respective micromachining and fabrication techniques. They will become acquainted with the fundamentals of the different transducers including mechanical, thermal, magnetic, chemical, optical, and biosensors. They also will get to know strategies to integrate components into microsystems.
