Handbook of Silicon Based MEMS Materials & Technologies

A comprehensive guide to MEMS materials, technologies and manufacturing, examining
the state of the art with a particular emphasis on current and future applications.
Key topics covered include:
- Silicon as MEMS material
- Material properties and measurement techniques
- Analytical methods used in materials characterization
- Modeling in MEMS
- Measuring MEMS
- Micromachining technologies in MEMS
- Encapsulation of MEMS components
- Emerging process technologies, including ALD and porous silicon
Written by 73 world class MEMS contributors from around the globe, this volume
covers materials selection as well as the most important process steps in bulk
micromachining, fulfilling the needs of device design engineers and process
or development engineers working in manufacturing processes. It also provides
a comprehensive reference for the industrial R&D and academic communities.
