Course description
This course is a general introduction to the field of MEMS(microelectromechanical systems), with emphasis on micro / nanofabrication technologies and its applications. It is designed for junior (third year) undergraduate students. This course helps students understanding essential technical background for micro / nanofabrication. Moreover, principles in MEMS devices and phenomena upon with microchips will be introduced by instructors. In addition, through this course, students can learn how to understand principles and phenomena, and build a strong knowledge base. The course is divided into two halves. The first half of the term will be taught by Prof. Ando and focus on an introduction to silicon-based MEMS. The second half of the term will be taught by Prof. Iwami and applications and case studies of MEMS devices to various fields will be introduced.
This course is an elective subjects in the curriculum of the M2 Course of the MSE department.
Expected Learning
The standards of this lecture are :
to understand a basic MEMS technology.
to understand characteristics of various microfabrication technologies.
to understand the principles of representative actuators and transducers.
to understand physics in micro/nanoscale that is applicable in MEMS.

Corresponding criteria in the Diploma policy: See the Curriculum maps.
