Abstract

This learning module provides an overview of three micromachining processes (bulk, surface, LIGA) used for the fabrication of microsystems or MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical Systems).  Activities are provided that contribution to a better understanding of these processes and that encourage further exploration.

This learning module includes the following:

  • Pre-test (Knowledge Probe)
  • Reading:  MEMS Micromachining Overview
  • Presentation:  MEMS Micromachining Overview (pdf)
  • Activity:  Terminology and Concepts
  • Activity:  Research
  • Assessment

Instructor materials for this learning module are available here.
