ASET Colloquium

MEMS technology based modern sensors and actuators

by Prof. Kukjin Chun (Seoul National University)

at AG-66
Description
Modern sensors and actuators are based on MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) technology which are micrometer-scale devices that integrate electrical and mechanical elements. MEMS technology also provides fabrication platform for the realization of small structures in three-dimension on many different substrates such as semiconductor materials, polymers and ceramics. They are usually fabricated by methods similar to microelectronics, so they provide significant cost advantages when batch fabricated. They also have the advantages of monolithically integrating with Integrated Circuits for higher performance. Modern MEMS devices mostly function as sensors for detecting mechanical, thermal, chemical, biological and optical stimuli. Examples of these kind include accelerometers, gyroscopes, pressure sensors as well as actuators such as RF passives/switches/filters, Cancer Detection Bio Module with micro-fluidic manipulation. In this talk, the advantages of MEMS technology will be addressed besides some of research results of my laboratory.
