Micro (and Nano) Mechanical Signal Processors
Tuesday, April 7th, 2009 @ 11:30 AM Sunil Bhave Location: White 411 With quality factors (Q) often exceeding 10,000, vibrating micromechanical resonators have emerged as leading candidates for on-chip versions of high-Q resonators used in wireless communication systems. However, as in the case for transistors, extending the frequency of MEMS resonators generally entails scaling of [...]
Materials Science of Silicon MEMS: A Two-Way Street
EECS 500 Arthur Heuer Friday, September 19th, 2008 MEMS-Micro Electro Mechanical Systems-add sensing and actuation, to the electronic functionality that is the hallmark of the semiconductor revolution. A majority of current commercial devices employ Si as the structural material to take advantage of the extensive Si technology developed for consumer and military devices. Duration : [...]
