Micro and Nanomanufacturing (repost)

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

Micro and Nanomanufacturing provides a comprehensive treatment of established micro and nanofabrication 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 about:

Manufacturing and fabrication techniques 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
