This accessible volume delivers a complete design methodology for
microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). Focusing on the scaling of
an autonomous micro-system, it explains the real-world problems and
theoretical concepts of several different aspects inherent to the
miniaturization of sensors and actuators. It reports on the
analysis of dimensional scaling, the modelling, design and
experimental characterization of a wide range of specific devices
and applications, including:
temperature microsensors based on an integrated complementary
metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) thermocouple;
mechanical sensors;
inductive microsensors for the detection of magnetic
particles;
electrostatic, thermal and magnetic actuators.
With an original approach, this informative text encompasses the
entire range of themes currently at the forefront of MEMS,
including an analysis of the importantissue of energy sources in
MEMS. In addition, the book explores contemporary research into the
design of complete MEMS with a case study on colonies of
microbots.
Scaling Issues and Design of MEMS aims to improve the
reader's basic knowledge on modelling issues of complex micro
devices, and to encourage new thinking about scaling effects. It
will provide support for practising engineers working within the
defence industry and will also be of welcome interest to graduate
students and researchers with a background in electronic
engineering, physics, chemistry, biology and materials science.
