Micro and Nanomanufacturing

Nanofabrication and nanotechnology present a great challenge to engineers and researchers as they manipulate atoms and molecules to produce single artifacts and submicron components/systems.

Micro and Nanomanufacturing provides a comprehensive treatment of established micro & nano fabrication techniques and addresses the needs of practicing manufacturing engineers by applying established and research laboratory manufacturing techniques to a wide variety of materials.

Engineers seeking more knowledge of how nano and micro devices are designed and fabricated will learn:
Manufacturing and fabrication at the micro and nanoscales Using bulk and surface micromachining techniques, LiGA and deep x-ray lithography to manufacture semiconductors Producing master molds with micromachining The deposition of thin films, pulsed water drop machining, and nanomachining
