Summary of the course
The course is designed as a “hands-on” project course for students who would like to deepen their understanding of nano/microelectromachnical systems (NEMS/MEMS). This course is given annually, in the 2nd period of every autumn term at KTH (HT-P2; typically last week of October to second week of December).
The students will go through a complete microsystem engineering cycle, as shown in the picture below. Upon completion of the course, they will be able:
- to conceptualize, simulate, and design their own microsystem/microactuator devices for given real-world specifications, by using state-of-the-art simulation and CAD tools,
- to fabricate their own devices in a state-of-the-art 200-mm wafer semiconductor clean-room laboratory, and
- to characterize their device, including the analysis of their failure mechanisms as well as to propose design improvements.
In recent course runs, the students had to develop the following microsystems:
- 2010: micro-optical switch for fiber-optic telecommunication networks
- 2011: micro-optical switch for fiber-optic telecommunication networks
- 2012: micro-gripper for manipulating cells
