MEMS/Nanotechnology Integration for Bio-Medical Applications

Abstract

The integration of MEMS and nanotechnologies has resulted in new capabilities for environmental monitoring and bio-nano sciences. The capabilities are enabled through a new type class of gas sensors and novel techniques for identifying and manipulating biological cells. After a brief introduction into micromachining, the lecture will discuss three examples each of (1) a new generation of gas sensors with higher sensitivity, lighter weight, and lower power consumption, (2) ultra-sensitive molecular detection and characterization devices, and (3) manipulation techniques for singles cells.
