This book presents the design and manufacturing of microsystems as well as necessary key technologies developed within the Collaborative Research Center 516. The research efforts of this collaboration are focused on active micro systems which are based on the electromagnetic actuator principle. The travel of the investigated actuator systems is on the order of several millimeters. The total construction size of the actuator is on the range of several centimeters whereas essential structures being several micrometers. The methods and the production technologies that are investigated on the basis of various research models incorporate the fundamental process chains of microsystems.

Was ist Mikrosystemtechnik? Welche Rolle spielt sie in Technik und Wirtschaft? Welche Produkte gibt es? Wie stellt man sie her? Mikrosysteme werden heute erfolgreich in vielen Anwendungsfeldern eingesetzt:  von der Fahrzeugtechnik über die Biomedizintechnik und Kommunikationstechnik bis zum Umweltschutz. Es sind kleine Produkte mit großer Wirkung: die einzelnen Komponenten können einige Mikrometer groß sein, die ganzen Systeme meist einige Millimeter.  Der Autor beschreibt die technische Entwicklung der Mikrosystemtechnik und erläutert an Hand typischer Anwendungen ihre Bauweise, Funktion und Herstellung.  Und er geht auf die zukünftigen Trends dieser Schlüsseltechnologie ein.

The book “Case Studies in Micromechatronics – From Systems to Process” offers prominent sample applications of micromechatronic systems and the enabling fabrication technologies. The chosen examples represent five main fields of application: consumer electronics (pressure sensor), mobility and navigation (acceleration sensor), handling technology and automation (micro gripper), laboratory diagnostics (point of care system), and biomedical technology (smart skin). These five sample systems are made from different materials requiring a large variety of modern fabrication methods and design rules, which are explained in detail. As a result, an inverted introduction “from prominent applications to base technologies” is provided. Examples of applications are selected to offer a broad overview of the development environment of micromechatronic systems including established as well as cutting-edge microfabrication technologies.
