The field of microengineering, which has evolved over the past few decades, is leading to radical changes in manufacturing techniques for high-technology products. Microengineered devices and systems are being applied to an increasing range of applications in the automotive, aerospace, telecommunications, and biomedical/pharmaceutical industries, and this trend is expected to continue well into...

In miniaturised objects fabricated by modern technology the smallest linear size may be of a few nanometers. In the field of microelectronics, the advantages of such a miniaturisation are huge (increased complexity and reliability, reduced costs). The technology is now approaching the limits where further size reduction will be impossible, except for very novel techniques such as molecular elec...
