Improved Nanoreinforced Composite Material Bonds with Potential Sensing Capabilities

Starikov D., Price A., Glenn T., Attia F., Fischer M., Bokadoum M., Bensaoula A., Integrated Micro Sensors Inc., US

Dramatic increase in the bond strength of composite/adhesive interfaces of nano reinforced composite material joints and structures has been achieved using laser-assisted fabrication of Micro Column Arrays (MCA) on the surface of the two materials [...]

MEMS based examination platform for a neuro-muscular communication in a co-culture system coupled to a multi-electrode-array

Fischer M., Klett M., Fernekorn U., Augspurger C., Schober A., Technische Universitat Ilmenau, DE

Development of a sensor-connected in vitro neuromuscular co-culture system may provide a useful tool for interpreting mutual signal transfers between the cell species and for future applications in drug screening. A glass-based, autoclavable, micro fluidic [...]

Silicon on ceramics – a new concept for micro-nano-integration on wafer level

Fischer M., Bartsch de Torres H., Pawlowski B., Mach M., Gade R., Barth S., Hoffmann M., Müller J., Technische Universitat Ilmenau, DE

A new integration concept for silicon devices to ceramic substrates based on a new bonding technique between nano-scaled, modified Black Silicon and an adapted, unfired LTCC substrate is presented. The novel technique enables to combine [...]

A Novel Class of Sensors for System Integrative Concepts in Biotechnological Applications

Schober A., Kittler G., Kittler M., Buchheim C., Majdeddin A., Cimalla V., Fischer M., Yanev V., Himmerlich M., Krischok S., Schaefer J.A., Romanus H., Sändig T., Burgold J., Weise F., Wurmus H., Drüe K.H., Hintz M., Thust H., Gebinoga M., Kittler G., Kittler M., Spitznas A., Gottwald E., Weibezahn K-F., Wegener D., Schwienhorst A., Ambacher O., Technical University of Ilmenau, DE

The application of an system integrative approach based on hetereostructure sensors (group III nitrides) for the examination of differnt biological systems is shown and discussed.

3-D Computational Modeling of RF MEMS Switches

Espinosa H.D., Fischer M., Zhu Y., Lee S., Northwestern University, US

Young's modulus and residual stress state of freestanding thin membranes are characterized in this work by means of wafer level experimental techniques. RF MEMS Switches manufactured by Raytheon Systems Co. are investigated using a new [...]

Fluctuating Amplitudes of Micro-Cantilever Vibration Modes

Greiner A., Fischer M., Korvink J.G., Albert Ludwigs Universitat Frieburg, DE

We investigate fluctuations in the mode amplitudes of vibrating micro mechined cantilevers in a gaseous environment. The movement of a micro-cantilever in thermal equilibrium consists of an superposition of its vibration modes. Each vibrating mode [...]
