Joint Chapter of Circuits and Systems and Electron Devices Societies (CAS/EDS)
Presents
Two Day Workshop on
Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) Design
On 20th and 21st June, 2014
Venue: Muffakham Jah College of Engineering and Technology, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad
About the Workshop:
Micro Systems also known as Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) is the integration of mechanical elements, sensors, actuators and electronics on a common silicon substrate through micro fabrication technology. Coupled with the smart materials and systems technology, Micro Systems find applications from aerospace to automobile engineering and from environmental monitoring to biomedical health sciences. In the present era, global technologies that have a synergistic combination of Mechanical engineering, Electronic controls and Information Technologies are penetrating into the field of Micro Systems. Micro Systems promise to revolutionize nearly every product category by bringing together silicon based microelectronics with micromachining technology, making
possible the realization of complete systems- on-a-chip. Owing to its numerous applications, simulation of these devices plays an indispensable role in the field. As fabrication techniques are expensive and Micro Systems relatively difficult to realize, simulation gives optimized parameters and tools to realize devices virtually. The workshop is aimed at exposing the participants to design, simulation and fabrication aspects of MEMS on the Intellisuite MEMS design platform. The morning session will focus on theoretical design aspect and hands on lab will be held during the afternoon session during which the participants will be made to design basic MEMS structures like Cantilever, Capacitive pressure sensors and RF MEMS Switches. A trial version of this software will be installed in the lab and all participants will be allotted a system to do hands on practice in the lab session. Students, faculty and working professional from Electronics, Electrical and Mechanical engineering background can benefit from this workshop.
