Description

This textbook, updated and revised and a perennial bestseller continues to provide the most complete MEMS and NEMS reference currently available. Discussing a variety of approaches, it offers background and comprehensive coverage on materials, processes, and manufacturing options. In its third edition, <span style="font-style: italic;">Fundamentals of Microfabrication</span> includes recent developments in design packages, DNA and protein array, and fluidics. It also includes a section on nanotechnology applications and a chapter on nanomachining. This seminal reference also serves as a cogent instructional text, providing both classroom and self-learners with worked-out example problems, as well as reinforcing questions with answers. The author characterizes and defines major research areas and illustrates them with examples culled from the most recent literature and from his own work.

Read an exclusive interview with the author of this landmark textbook, Dr. Marc Madou.

Dr. Madou us Chancellor's Professor at UC Irvine, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and Department of Biomedical Engineering. He describes his work as not simply as update – but a push to help the U.S. “re-engineer engineering,” by using MEMS nanotechnology to bring manufacturing prowess back to the U.S.

 

The first volume, Solid-State Physics, Fluidics, and Analytical Techniques in Micro- and Nanotechnology, offers a rigorous theoretical treatment of micro- and nanosciences, and includes sections on solid-state physics, quantum mechanics, crystallography, and fluidics.

The second volume, Manufacturing Techniques for Microfabrication and Nanotechnology, presents a very large set of manufacturing techniques for micro- and nanofabrication and covers different forms of lithography, material removal processes, and additive technologies.

The third volume, From MEMS to Bio-MEMS: Manufacturing Techniques and Applications, focuses on manufacturing techniques and applications of Bio-MEMS and Bio-NEMS. Illustrated in color throughout, this seminal work is a cogent instructional text, providing classroom and self-learners with worked-out examples and end-of-chapter problems.

Reviews

"… offers the widest and yet the most detailed coverage of all essential and fundamental aspects of microfabrication and nanotechnology. The author has done an excellent and remarkable job in synthesizing such diverse material under a single umbrella."

"Once again, Professor Madou has made an incredible contribution to the MEMS/NEMS global community in writing this series of books."


."… [the new 3-volume format] has the potential to become a "classic" just like the one-volume predecessor… easy to read, and I found some concepts explained in ways I hadn’t heard before… Very ambitious, very informative, very good for teaching!"
