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 class
Content
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
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, the student must be able to:
- Conduct an experiment
- Report on experiments
Transversal skills
- Demonstrate the capacity for critical thinking
Teaching methods
Practicals supervised by assistants
Assessment methods
Based on work in the lab, anwer to questions during experimental sessions and quality of the report
