EE C247B / ME C218, Spring 2021
Introduction to MEMS Design
Tuesday and Thursday: 9:30-11 a.m.
via Zoom
Discussion Section:
-
Friday, 10-11 a.m., via Zoom.
Prerequisites:
-
Graduate standing in engineering or science; undergraduates with consent of instructor.
- Note that the prequisite requirement (or apparent lack of one) for this course reflects the fact that the course itself is meant to serve all engineering departments. This is not to say that no prior knowledge is required for this course; rather, it is more a statement that if you lack the necessary background knowledge, you will need to study and learn the material somewhat independently. In particular, although some of the background material will be covered in lecture, there is simply not enough time to do a thorough job of it. Thus, those less familiar with the material will need to turn to supplementary materials, such as the reference texts.
-
This course will rely on concepts from numerous disciplines, from electrical engineering, to mechanical engineering, to materials science, to chemical engineering. Thus, it is likely that nearly everyone will need to struggle with unfamiliar material at some point in the course.
Texts:
- Required:
S. Senturia, Microsystem Design, 2nd Printing
Various material to be distrbuted throughout the course.
- Supplementary:
G. Kovacs, Micromachined Transducers Sourcebook
Jaeger, Introduction to Microelectronic Fabrication (Vol. V of the Modular Series on Solid State Devices), 2ndEdition
- References: (on reserve)
C. Liu, Foundations of MEMS
N. Maluf, An Introduction to Microelectromechanical Systems Engineering
J. Pelesko & D. Bernstein, Modeling MEMS and NEMS
