Two exciting worlds of science and technology – the nano and micro dimensions. The former is a booming new field of research, the latter the established size range for electronics, and for mutual technological benefit and future commercialization, suitable junctions need to be found. Functional nanostructures such as DNA computers, sensors, neural interfaces, nanooptics or molecular electronics need to be wired to their 'bigger' surroundings. Coming from the opposite direction, microelectronics...
Die Mikrosystemtechnik (MST) stellt bereits heute einen wichtigen wirtschaftlichen Faktor fur zahlreiche Industrieunternehmen dar. Mit der MST verbinden sich sehr gro?e Erwartungen, da? auch die nahe Zukunft ma?gebliche Innovationen, neue Technologien und vor allem darauf basierende, neue kommerzielle Produkte hervorbringen wird. Ausgehend von kombinierten elektronischen, mechanischen oder chemischen Mikrokomponenten wie Elektronik, Sensoren, Aktoren, autarken Energieversorgungen sind...
With its assessment and linking of study reports into a coherent narrative, this book accurately describes the technological and economic opportunities of nanotechnology in all important sectors of industry affected. As such, it provides an in depth-analysis within the context of product groups and lead markets on the international level, with the focus on Germany. Much cited internationally, Gerd Bachmann applies a so-called method mix to avoid the weaknesses of other studies conducted purely...
