Abstract

Microsystems or Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) are small (micrometersize) machines usually built by lithographic technologies originally developed for microchips. MEMS are designed to integrate sensing and actuation (and evendata processing) on a single chip, therefore they often include moving and deforming parts. Currently microsystem technologies are used for a wide variety of purposes such as: read/write heads in hard-disk drives, ink-jet printheads, Digital Light Processing (DLP) chips in video projection systems and several types of sensors for pressure, flow, acceleration or bio-elements.
