Description
Does MEMS technology offer advantages to your company's products? Will miniature machines on a chip solve your application objectives
for ôsmaller, better, cheaper, and faster'ö If you are a product development engineer or manager, the decision to design a MEMS device
implies having an application and market. This book offers you a practical guide to making this important business decision. Here, both
veterans and newcomers to MEMS device design will get advice on evaluating MEMS for their business, followed by guidance on selecting
solutions, technologies and design support tools. You will see how experts from around the world have explored MEMS possibilities and
achieved new breakthrough devices such as RF-MEMS for mobile telecommunications, micro-optics for internet hardware, catheter-based minimal-invasive
operating theatre tools, and in vivo monitoring of exact dosage of medication in ailing patients. This handbook offers a wealth of analytical
techniques treating problematic areas such as alternative designs reliability, packaging, and cost effectiveness.
Audience:
Manufacturers and researchers in the following areas: optical and radio frequency switching applications, automotive electronics, computer
peripherals, biomedical equipment, consumer electronics, biotechnology, telecommunications, and military electronics systems.
