Microsystems are systems that integrate, on a chip or a package, one or more of many different categories of microdevices. As the past few decades were dominated by the development and rapid miniaturization of circuitry, the current and coming decades are witnessing a similar revolution in the miniaturization of sensors, actuators, and electronics; and communication, control and power devices. Applications ranging from biomedicine to warfare are driving rapid innovation and growth in the field, which is pushing this topic into graduate and undergraduate curricula in electrical, mechanical, and biomedical engineering.
Key Features
- The first self-contained textbook treatment of MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) written specifically for undergraduate course use with emphasis on modeling, both analytical and numerical.
- Unified treatment of micro- and smart systems in terms of applications and modeling.
- Written without assuming prior background in electrical or mechanical engineering but without shortchanging rigor.
