DESCRIPTION:
From the electronic nose and the intelligent ear to the modern inkjet
nozzle, the applications for smart devices incorporating microsensors
are having a growing impact. This book reports upon recent developments
in the integration of microelectronics with microsensors and microactuators
to form a microsystem or MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical System) device.
This timely reference text:
- Provides a unique and accessible overview of this rapidly expanding
field and addresses the technology integration issues that are vital to the
successful application of microsensors, MEMS and smart devices
- Describes the latest applications in smart devices such as the electronic
nose and tongue to ID technology such as smart sensors and smart structures
like the smart skin
- Covers the latest fabrication techniques and processes such as bulk
and surface micromachinery, and polymer processing methods
- Describes fabrication materials - functional, structural and intelligent -
and includes comprehensive appendices with properties of materials
Offering a unique overview of this rapidly expanding field, Microsensors,
MEMS and Smart Devices enables readers to understand microsystems
and to evaluate their possibilities.
