Book Synopsis Microsensors, MEMS, and Smart Devices by : Julian W. Gardner

Download or read book Microsensors, MEMS, and Smart Devices written by Julian W. Gardner. This book was released on 2001. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microsensors and MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) are revolutionising the semiconductor industry. A microsystem or the so-called "system-on-a-chip" combines microelectronic circuitry with microsensors and microactuators. This emergent field has seen the development of applications ranging from the electronic nose and intelligent ear to micro-tweezers and the modern ink-jet nozzle. Providing a complete overview of microsensor technologies, this unique reference addresses vital integration issues for the successful application of microsensors, MEMS and smart devices. Features include: * Review of traditional and emerging fabrication processes including bulk and silicon micromachining, microstereolithography and polymer processing methods. * Focus on the use of IDT (interdigital transducer) microsensors in the development of low energy budget, wireless MEMS or micromachines. * Coverage of the katest applications in smart devices including the electronic nose, tongue and finger, along with smart sensors and strcutures such as smart skin. * An overview of the development of intelligent sensing devices through the use of sensor arrays, parametric compensation of sensor sugnals and ASIC technology. * Comprehensive appendices outlining vital MEMS material properties, relevant web sites and a guide to key institutions active in the field. Microsensors, MEMS and Smart Devices presents readers with the means to understand and evaluate microsystems. Advanced students and researchers in microelectronics, engineers and developers of microsensor systems will find this comprehensive treatment essential reading. Detailed coverage of material properties makes this an important reference work for mechnical engineers, physicists and material scientists working in the field.

Book Synopsis Smart Mems and Sensor Systems by : Elena Gaura

Download or read book Smart Mems and Sensor Systems written by Elena Gaura. This book was released on 2006. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, MEMS have revolutionized the semiconductor industry, with sensors being a particularly buoyant sector. Smart MEMS and Sensor Systems presents readers with the means to understand, evaluate, appreciate and participate in the development of the field, from a unique systems perspective. The combination of MEMS and integrated intelligence has been put forward as a disruptive technology. The full potential of this technology is only evident when it is used to construct very large pervasive sensing systems. The book explores the many different technologies needed to build such systems and integrates knowledge from three different domains: MEMS technology, sensor system electronics and pervasive computing science. Throughout the book a top-down design perspective is taken, be it for the development of a single smart sensor or that of adaptive ad-hoc networks of millions of sensors. For experts in any of the domains named above the book provides the context for their MEMS based design work and an understanding of the role the other domains play. For the generalist (either in engineering or computing) or the technology manager the underpinning knowledge is provided, which can inform specialist decision making. Sample Chapter(s). Chapter 1: Markets and Applications (1,731 KB). Contents: Markets and Applications; Microfabrication Technologies; Sensor Electronics; Sensor Signal Enhancement; Case Study: Control Systems for Capacitive Inertial Sensors; Case Study: Adaptive Optics and Smart VLSI/MEMS Systems; Artificial Intelligence Techniques for Microsensors Identification and Compensation; Smart, Intelligent and Cogent MEMS Based Sensors; Sensor Arrays and Networks; Wireless and Ad Hoc Sensor Networks; Realising the Dream OCo A Case Study.
