Product Description
Practical MEMS focuses on analyzing the operational principles of microsystems. The salient features of the book include: Tutorial approach. The book emphasizes the design and analysis through over 100 calculated examples covering all aspects of MEMS design. Emphasis on design. This book focuses on the microdevice operation. First, the physical operation principles are covered. Second, the design equations are derived and exemplified. Practical MEMS is a perfect companion to MEMS fabrication textbooks. Quantitative performance analysis. The critical performance parameters for the given application are identified and analyzed. For example, the noise and power performance of piezoresistive and capacitive accelerometers is analyzed in detail. Mechanical, resistive (thermal and 1/f-noise), and circuit noise analysis is covered. Application specifications. Different MEMS applications are compared to commercial design requirements. For example, the optical MEMS is analyzed in the context of bar code scanner, projection displays, and optical cross connect specifications. MEMS economics and market analysis. A full chapter is devoted to yield and cost analysis of microfabricated devices. In addition, the market economics for emerging applications such as RF MEMS is discussed. |

Invaluable source of MEMS information by Antti Jaakkola (Helsinki, Finland)  5 Stars
September 02, 2009
As a MEMS professional I find this book an invaluable complement to the selection of MEMS textbooks - I wish this book had existed already when I started my career in the field. The book is well written, and the practical examples facilitate understanding of the subject. For me, especially the chapters on readout electronics have helped me become a better MEMS designer. I highly recommend investing in this book.

Complete Coverage of MEMS by Blake M. Hosli 5 Stars
April 14, 2009
A relatively new addition to the MEMS arsenal of textbooks, this title seems to encapsulate just about all aspects of MEMS production, design and even some business aspects. I've used a few different MEMS textbooks and this one, even though new, works best.

A helpful tool for understanding MEMS from start to finish by D. Scoggin (Ruston, Louisiana USA) 5 Stars
April 09, 2009
It is good to find a book that covers MEMS devices from theory and design to cost and marketing. Having the information in one place is ideal for both students to learn the material and for researchers to use as a reference guide. This book helped me to design my first accelerometer and cantilever systems. The combination of fully worked out examples and easy to understand pictures helps lead to a greater understanding of MEMS devices. If you are considering entering the MEMS field and want to familiarize yourself or if you would like an easy to use reference, this is the book for you.

| Fundamentals of BioMEMS and Medical Microdevices
by Steven S. Saliterman (Author)
BioMEMS devices are as important to the future of medicine as microprocessors were to the computer revolution at the end of the last century. BioMEMS is a science that includes more than simply finding biomedical applications for microelectromechanical systems devices. It represents an expansion into a host of new polymer materials, microfluidic physics, surface chemistries and their modification, 'soft' fabrication techniques, biocompatibility, and cost-effective solutions to biomedical...

| Microsystem Design
by Stephen D. Senturia (Author)
The goal of this book is to bring together into one accessible text the fundamentals of the many disciplines needed by today's engineer working in the field of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). The subject matter is wide-ranging: microfabrication, mechanics, heat flow, electronics, noise, and dynamics of systems, with and without feedback. Because it is very difficult to enunciate principles of `good design' in the abstract, the book is organized around a set of Case Studies...

| Modeling MEMS and NEMS
by John A. Pelesko (Author), David H. Bernstein (Author)
Designing small structures necessitates an a priori understanding of various device behaviors. The way to gain such understanding is to construct, analyze, and interpret the proper mathematical model.Through such models, Modeling MEMS and NEMS illuminates microscale and nanoscale phenomena, thereby facilitating the design and optimization of micro- and nanoscale devices. After some introductory material, a review of continuum mechanics, and a study of scaling, the book is organized around...
