课程特征 Course Features:
Electronic technologies have evolved to the extent that modern device features are measured in nanometers. As a result, many new device concepts, fabrication methods and characterisation techniques have emerged. MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) exploits techniques developed by the microelectronics industry to produce micron-scale mechanical devices such as accelerometers and micro-pumps on silicon wafers.
