Parametric and Optimal Design of MEMS

Instructors:

• Prof. Liwei Lin, Room 621E Sutardja Dai Hall, (510)643-5495, lwlin@me.berkeley.edu
• Teaching Assistant, none

Class Meetings:

• Lecture, Monday Wednesday and Friday, 3107 Etcheverry, 9:00 - 10:00am
• Office Hours, Monday, Wednesday, 11:30-12:30pm

Course Descriptions:

Parametric design and optimal design of MEMS. Emphasis on design, not fabrication. Analytic solution of MEMS design problems to determine the dimensions of MEMS structures for specified function. Trade-off of various performance requirements despite conflicting design requirements. Structures include flexure systems, accelerometers, and rate sensors.

Prerequisite: 119 and C218/Electrical Engineering C245 are highly recommended but not mandatory
