Parametric and Optimal Design of MEMS
Instructors:
Class Meetings:
- Lecture, Monday Wednesday and Friday, 3107 Etcheverry, 9:00 - 10:00am
- Office Hours, Monday, Wednesday, 11:30-12:30pm
Course Descriptions:
Parametric design and optimal design of MEMS. Emphasis on design, not fabrication. Analytic solution of MEMS design problems to determine the dimensions of MEMS structures for specified function. Trade-off of various performance requirements despite conflicting design requirements. Structures include flexure systems, accelerometers, and rate sensors.
Prerequisite: 119 and C218/Electrical Engineering C245 are highly recommended but not mandatory
