Expanding the opportunities of microelectronics to non-electronic systems, its number of application fields continues to increase. Microsensors are one of the most important fields, used in medical applications and micromechanics. Microfluidic systems are also a significant area, most commonly used in ink-jet printer heads.  \u003cp\u003eThis textbook focuses on the essentials of microsystems technology, providing a knowledgeable grounding and a clear path through this well-established scientific dicipline. With a methodical, student-orientated approach, \u003ci\u003eIntroduction to Microsystem Technology\u003c\/i\u003e covers the following:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e \u003cli\u003emicrosystem materials (including silicon, polymers and thin films), and the scaling effects of going micro;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003efabrication techniques based on different material properties, descriptions of their limitations and functional and shape elements produced by these techniques;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003esensors and actuators based on elements such as mechanical, fluidic, and thermal (yaw rate sensor components are described);\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe influence of technology parameters on microsystem properties, asking, for example, when is the function of a microsystem device robust and safe?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book presents problems at the end of each chapter so that you may test your understanding of the key concepts (full solutions for these are given on an accompanying website). Practical examples are included also, as well as case studies that enable a better understanding of the technology as a whole. With its extensive treatment on the fundamentals of microsystem technology, this book also serves as a compendium for engineers and technicians working with microsystem technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cb\u003eGerald Gerlach\u003c\/b\u003e is currently a Professor for Solid-state Sensors at the Dresden University of Technology, Germany, a post he has held since 1996. His research interests include micromachined solid-state sensors (pressure, humidity, chemical) and sensor fabrication techniques, and he teaches courses in Microtechnology and Sensors. He has also held positions as a Researcher at different German companies making micromachined pressure sensors for biomedical applications, and is active in the sensor and measuring technology fields, having been Chairman of the German Association of University Professors in Measuring Technology (AHMT) and Vice-President of the German Society for Measurement and Control (GMA) since 2002. He has co-authored the German version of this book \u003ci\u003eEinführung in die Mikrosystemtechnik\u003c\/i\u003e (Hanser, 2006) and has contributed chapters to the book \u003ci\u003eFunctional Elements in Precision Engineering\u003c\/i\u003e (Hanser) and \u003ci\u003eFabrication in Precision Engineering and Microtechnology\u003c\/i\u003e (Hanser, 1995). He has also written over 250 journal and conference papers, and holds more than 35 patents.  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWolfram Dötzel\u003c\/b\u003e is currently Professor for Microsystems and Precision Engineering at Chemnitz University of Technology, also holding the position of Vice-President for Research at the university. His main research fields are in the modelling, design and simulation of micromechanical components, characterization and testing of micromechanical components by experimental methods, and adaptation of methods and principles of precision engineering for microsystems. He teaches courses in Microsystems, reliability and the design of devices and has previously co-authored \u003ci\u003eEinführung in die Mikrosystemtechnik\u003c\/i\u003e (Hanser, 2006) with Gerald Gerlach.
