9780849394515: Fundamentals of Microfabrication

Synopsis

Nanotechnology and microengineering are among the top priority research areas in the United States and will continue to be so during the next decade, making Fundamentals of Microfabrication an important and timely work. Written by an internationally recognized expert on sensors and sensor instrumentation who is also a leading authority on nanotechnology and microfabrication, this book will function as both a valuable textbook and a handy reference. Ten chapters discuss in detail topics such as lithography, pattern transfer, wet and dry bulk micromachining, surface micromachining, and LIGA. Alternative micromachining technologies are described and electronics used with micromachined devices are examined. Bonding and packaging issues are defined. The book also presents quantum structures and reviews molecular engineering. Numerous appendices offer valuable information in an easily accessible format.

Review

"The Fundamentals of Microfabrication describes the science of miniaturization, which demonstrates ways of making devices using smaller and smaller materials. This book brings an understanding of manufacturing options, material choices, and size...This book is well written and very informative for anyone interested in this area of engineering and could be used in an advanced course for the study of microfabrication." -Diane Kauzlarick, EET

Synopsis

Fundamentals of Microfabrication is the first book to examine all aspects of the attempt to build functional devices at a molecular size.
