【 Course Description 】
This course teaches student to utilize fundamental MEMS/MST (Micro-Electro-Mechanical System/Micro System Technology)knowledge combined with MEMS CAD software to design real MEMS/MST devices. Two commercial available MEMS foundries (MOSIS/SCNA and MCNC/MUMPS) and simple physical model on accelerator and combdrive actuator will be elaborated to demonstrate the design process. Finally, The student will combine the knowledge learned from the course to design and present their own MEMS device. This course is offered in English.
