Book Description

March 13, 2002 0849308267 978-0849308260 2
MEMS technology and applications have grown at a tremendous pace, while structural dimensions have grown smaller and smaller, reaching down even to the molecular level. With this movement have come new types of applications and rapid advances in the technologies and techniques needed to fabricate the increasingly miniature devices that are literally changing our world.

A bestseller in its first edition, Fundamentals of Microfabrication, Second Edition reflects the many developments in methods, materials, and applications that have emerged recently. Renowned author Marc Madou has added exercise sets to each chapter, thus answering the need for a textbook in this field.

Fundamentals of Microfabrication, Second Edition offers unique, in-depth coverage of the science of miniaturization, its methods, and materials. From the fundamentals of lithography through bonding and packaging to quantum structures and molecular engineering, it provides the background, tools, and directions you need to confidently choose fabrication methods and materials for a particular miniaturization problem.

New in the Second Edition
  • Revised chapters that reflect the many recent advances in the field
  • Updated and enhanced discussions of topics including DNA arrays, microfluidics, micromolding techniques, and nanotechnology
  • In-depth coverage of bio-MEMs, RF-MEMs, high-temperature, and optical MEMs.
  • Many more links to the Web
  • Problem sets in each chapter

    Review

    The Fundamentals of Microfabrication describes the science of miniaturization, which demonstrates ways of making devices using smaller and smaller materials. This book brings an understanding of manufacturing options, material choices, and size...This book is well written and very informative for anyone interested in this area of engineering and could be used in an advanced course for the study of microfabrication.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fundamentals of Microfabrication, May 27, 2000
    This book helps you explore the world of micromachines and miniaturization. First 6 chapters review and explain the methodogy of microfabrications including micromachining technologies available today. Chapter 7 compares traditional and non-traditional microfabrication tools for different applications. New device development and hot topics of micromachined packaging are explored in chapter 8. Nice up-to-date list of hyperlinked documents from all around the world is placed at the end of the book for futher exploring the world of micromachining and microfabrication.

    This review is from: Fundamentals of Microfabrication: The Science of Miniaturization, Second Edition (Hardcover)
    It covers a lot of material and has some good pictures, but definitions and equations are a little terse or confusing. The book is also heavy...

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Best of its Kind, February 9, 2011
    Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
    This review is from: Fundamentals of Microfabrication: The Science of Miniaturization, Second Edition (Hardcover)
    This book is the single best resource anyone can have for microfabrication. It's incredibly thorough in the content that it covers and goes into great detail on not only what processes exist for MEMS fabrication but also HOW it's done, WHY it happens (the physics behind it), and even a history behind the processes. Even as thorough as it is, this book is still pretty easy to follow and requires little background knowledge on the subject.

    Definitely a must-have for anyone that will be working with MEMS or nanotechnology, even if as nothing more than a reference book.
