Summary of the course
The course is designed as a “hands-on” project course for students who would like to experience the world of nano/microelectromachnical systems (NEMS/MEMS) by having a "hands-on" experience, i.e. by carrying out a microsystem engineering project by designing, fabricating and evaluating tiny but complex devices of sub-millimeter size. 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).
!!! Next scheduled course run: 2013-HT-P2
!!! (autumn term 2013, 2nd period, October-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.
Below two pictures of students (2012 course) fabricating their microsystems in KTH's clean-room.
