Overview
The unit addresses the foundation and practical aspects of semiconductor devices, micro sensors, micro actuators and related microtechnologies. Topics include an in-depth exploration of principles and materials relevant to MEMS and semiconductor devices, electrical and mechanical characterisation, foundational MEMS structures such as cantilever beams, comb structures and semiconductor device patterns … For more content click the Read More button below.
Furthermore, the unit encompasses characterisation techniques for mechanical and electrical studies, assembly, packaging, testing, reliability and environmental impact studies. It involves hands-on laboratory exercises, project work, computer-based simulation and the construction of semiconductor/MEMS devices for potential real-world applications.

Assessment summary
Continuous assessment: 50%
Final assessment: 50%
This unit contains hurdle requirements that you must achieve to be able to pass the unit. You are required to achieve at least 45% in the total continuous assessment component and at least 45% in the final assessment component. The consequence of not achieving a hurdle requirement is a fail grade (NH) and a maximum mark of 45 for the unit.
