Programme

Lecture topics:

  1. Overview of smart systems, cyber-physical system, Internet-of-Things devices and concepts.
  2. The concept and building blocks of integrated smart systems.
  3. Cellphone as a smart system. Hierarchy of smartphones.
  4. MEMS sensors and actuators inside a smart system.
  5. Overview of smart system manufacturing technologies.
  6. Manufacturing processes of integrated electronics and micro electro-mechanics (MEMS).
  7. Packaging of integrated smart systems.
  8. Micromechanics, electro-mechanical coupling
  9. Analysis of typical electro-mechanical microsystems – micromirror, comb-drive, gyroscopes
  10. Thermal microsystems, electro-thermal coupling
  11. BioMEMS - fundamentals of microfluidics: laminar flow, mixing, flow focusing. Transport phenomenon: convective and conductive mass transfer, diffusion in microflows. Droplet microfluidics: fundamentals and applications. Flow map, typical multiphase flow regimes. Enhanced heat transfer in Taylor flow, mixing in microdroplets, compact modeling of two phase flows. Droplet manipulation, EWOD
  12. Lab-on-a-Chip devices: Point-of-Care. LoC platforms and PoC concepts: case studies. Sample consumption, sample handling, throughput, sensitivity, specificity, resolution.
  13. Physical methods - Sorting and counting techniques: hydrodinamic focusing, optical counting methods, scattering histogram plots, fluorescence activated cell sorting, impedance methods, Coulter counter
  14. Biosensors in LoC devices: physical, electrochemical, electronic and optical methods. DNA manipulation techniques: data storage in DNA, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)

Classroom/laboratory practice topics:

 

  1. Inside the package - Testing and characterization of integrated electronics, sensors and MEMS (laboratory demonstration)
  2. Cleanroom visit - Dicing, bonding and packaging of microsystems (laboratory demonstration)
  3. Semiconductor technology at work (video documentary and discussions)
  4. MEMS case-study - operation, simulation and characterization of a heatuator MEMS (computer laboratory demonstration)
  5. Modeling of MEMS - compact modelling, reduced order modeling, multi-domain modeling (computer laboratory demonstration)
  6. Fundamental effects in microfluidics (laboratory demonstration)
The course aims to develop a detailed knowledge and critical understanding of Smart Systems technologies and the physics of MEMS devices. A significant range of principal and specialist skills will be developed in the fields of Smart Systems manufacturing technology, and its applications in MEMS and bio-MEMS devices. During the laboratory work, state-of-the-art smart systems are disassembled, discussed and analyzed.
