Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) are devices that display the most intense development in modern microelectronics (Kostsov, 2009). The main challenge of microelectromechanics is the design of unique micromechanical structures for various purposes. This research direction is based on achievements of advanced microelectronic technologies and inherits the basic advantages of electronic micr...

The progresses observed in the microelectronic industry with an increase in applications based on thin wafers and thin microelectronic substrates have made the use of glues for permanent and temporary bonding an essential part in the processing and handling of thin substrates during manufacturing. The evolution of MEMS device technology into high volume production sees the need for materials wh...

A novel high-precision vacuum microelectronic accelerometer has been successfully fabricated and tested in our laboratory. This accelerometer has unique advantages of high sensitivity, fast response, and anti-radiation stability. It is a prototype intended for navigation applications and is required to feature micro-g resolution. This paper briefly describes the structure and working principle ...

Our group demonstrated experimentally that the swimming paths of Magnetotactic Bacteria (MTB) could be controlled through special microelectronic circuits and software algorithms. These results may lead to the development of a new type of microfactories where manipulation at the micrometer-scale could be performed by many MTB operating under the influences of special control rules. As such, a s...

Engineering programs that have introduced nanotechnology into their curriculum typically add material into core classes or have added a separate set of nanotechnology courses. Increasing the number of courses can be a challenge for colleges with limited resources and faculty and it is not easy to make significant changes to the curriculum all in one step. This paper looks at an alternative that...

Microelectronics assembly entails complex processes where several potentially fetotoxic chemical compounds are used extensively. This study was undertaken to assess the potential adverse reproductive outcomes among former women workers in a microelectronics assembly plant in New Mexico with respect to a comparable population from the same geographical region and to examine the relation between ...
