Corresponding author, Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT In this paper, we present a preliminary research effort towards an effective computer support environment for the design and development of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). We first identify the characteristics of MEMS product design and development processes and examine the state-of-the-art of MEMS Computer-aided Design (CAD) and s...

Curriculum development in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) in the Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics (MEAM) Department at the University of Michigan is presented. A course curriculum structure that integrates both mechanical and electrical engineering courses is proposed for mechanical engineering students. The proposed curriculum starts from undergraduate study and finishes at t...

Getting Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) out of a wafer after fabrication processes is of great interest in testing, packaging or simply using these devices. Actual solutions require special machines like wafer dicing machines, increasing time and cost of de-tethering MEMS. This article deals with a new solution for manufacturing mechanical de-tetherable silicon MEMS. The presented solut...
