MEMS TECHNOLOGY BY S.APPA RAO
MEMS: micro-electro-mechanical systems Combination of  mechanical functions (sensing,moving,heating)  and electrical functions (switching ,deciding) on the same chip using micro fabrication technology. INTRODUCTION
Same as the process steps used for making conventional electronic circuits MEMS   PROCESS PowerPoint
FABRICATION PROCESS:
CHEMICAL DEPOSITION Chemical vapour deposition  PHYSICAL DEPOSITION Sputtering  DEPOSITION:
   Application of photo resist  Optical exposure to print an image of the mask onto the resist Immersion in an aqueous developer solution to dissolve the exposed resist  LITHIOGRAPHY:
