Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
Selected papers from a July 2009 symposium report on recent work in technology and devices of nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). Papers describe not only applications that involve MEMS design, but also modeling, fabrication processes, lab-on-a-chip, and biophotonic devices for applications such as protein and cell sorting. Material is in sections on modeling and simulation, photonics, microfluidics, biosensors, NEMS/MEMS for bio-applications, MEMS sensor and energy harvesting, and nano-fabrication. Some specific topics detailed include design and fabrication of novel compliant electrostatically actuated microvalves, enabling low temperature copper bonding with an organic monolayer, a photonic MEMS polarization switch, and photothermal techniques for materials characterization and live cell monitoring. B&w images are included.
