Description and Table of Contents
Description
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.
