Withdrawal
It is not allowed to withdraw from this subject after the registration deadline.Summary
Objective of this practical is to apply in specific experimental settings the knowledge acquired in various MEMS related classContent
The practical is organized in several lab experiments.
The part I (winter semester) is dedicated to MEMS technology and MEMS simulation:
- Finite element simulation of MEMS
- Design of MEMS actuators
- Fabrication of MEMS actuators
- Caracterization of MEMS actuators
- Noise in sensors
The part 2 (spring smester) is dedicated to sensors:
- capacitive accelerometer
- ISFET
- Glucose sensor
- piezoresistive pressure sensor
- Electrokinetic chip
Keywords
MEMS, FEM simulation, microsensors, microtechnology, microactuators, silicon micromachining
