Electronic Composites
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
