Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
Papers from a summer 2011 symposium shed light on new devices, process innovations, and engineering applications related to nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS), microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and micro total analysis systems. Major themes are theory, design, and analysis of NEMS/MEMS; NEMS/MEMS fabrication technologies; sensors, actuators and microsystems; RF MEMS devices and characterization; microfluidics and micro total analysis systems; nanotechnology and nano devices; and optical MEMS, nanophotonics, and plasmonics. Some specific topics include thick-film deposition of high-viscous liquid photopolymer, separation gap estimation in dynamic systems, and a static micromixer inspired by fractal-like natural flow systems. Other subjects include a novel approach to MEMS based on biological sensory systems, design considerations of membrane structure for a thermal actuated micropump, fabrication of a Peltier device based on InSb and SbTe thin films, and a method for quantification of meta-amyloid using a photo-sensitive thin film transistor. B&w photos and images are included.
