Description
Summary:An overview is provided of materials and processes research currently being conducted in support of MEMS device design at MIT. Underpinning research is being conducted in five areas: room temperature strength characterization, elevated temperature strength characterization, processing of Si/SiC hybrid structures, modeling of wafer bonding processes and development of high temperature fluid interconnections. Emphasis is placed on the key areas of materials science and engineering.
