Micro-Manufacturing
Design and Manufacturing of Micro-Products
1. Edition May 2011
400 Pages, Hardcover
Practical Approach Book
Short Description
Understanding the boundaries, challenges, and opportunities of micro-scale manufacturing becomes a must before one can design, make, use, and manage such products effectively. Micro-Manufacturing is the first book to provide in-depth understanding of materials behavior at micro-scales and under various processing conditions, while describing emerging micro-scale manufacturing challenges and strategies to overcome them. It discusses how microtechnology-based products are made, the sources from which they are made, and their limitations, with examples such as mobile phones, cameras, and handheld PDAs. An essential resource for researchers, professors, and electrical and electronic engineers.
This book is the first of its kind to collectively address design-based and mechanical micro-manufacturing topics in one place. It focuses on design and materials selection, as well as the manufacturing of micro-products using mechanical-based micro-manufacturing process technologies. After addressing the fundamentals and non-metallic-based micro-manufacturing processes in the semiconductor industry, it goes on to address specific metallic-based micro-manufacturing processes, such as: micro-forming, micro-machining, micro-molding, micro-laser processing, micro-layered manufacturing, micro-joining, micro-assembly and materials handling, and microEDM and ECM. The book provides an in-depth understanding of materials behavior at micro-scales and under different micro-scale processing conditions, while also including a wide variety of emerging micro-scale manufacturing issues and examples.
