Electronic Composites

Modeling, Characterization, Processing, and MEMS Applications
Minoru Taya, University of Washington
April 2008
Paperback
9780521057318

    Electronic composites, whose properties can be controlled by thermal or electromagnetic means, play an important role in micro- and nano- electromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS) such as sensors, actuators, filters, and switches. This book describes the processing, simulation, and applications of electronic composites. Aimed at graduate students of electrical engineering and materials science, it will also be a useful reference for researchers and engineers in the MEMS industry.

    • Describes all the key models that are used in the simulation of electronic composites
    • Covers the applications of electronic composites in MEMS devices
    • Discusses the processing of electronic composites in MEMS fabrication

    Reviews & endorsements

    "This is a well balanced book and will be of value as a general introduction for the beginner and there is ample theory to satisfy experienced researchers. The author has succeeded in presenting applied technology and theoretical aspects in a manner that make easy and enjoyable reading."
