Wiley Micro-Manufacturing: Design and Manufacturing of Micro-Products

This book is the first of its kind to collectively address design-based and mechanical micro-manufacturing topics in one place.  It focuses on design and materials selection, as well as the manufacturing of micro-products using mechanical-based micro-manufacturing process technologies.  After addressing the fundamentals and non-metallic-based micro-manufacturing processes in the semiconductor industry, it goes on to address specific metallic-based micro-manufacturing processes, such as: micro-forming, micro-machining, micro-molding, micro-laser processing, micro-layered manufacturing, micro-joining, micro-assembly and materials handling, and microEDM and ECM. The book provides an in-depth understanding of materials behavior at micro-scales and under different micro-scale processing conditions, while also including a wide variety of emerging micro-scale manufacturing issues and examples. From the Inside Flap The first-of-its-kind guide to metal-based micro-manufacturing processesWith consumer products and industrial applications evolving toward smaller integrated devices with multi-functionalities, scientists and engineers in modeling, design, and manufacturing are increasingly expected to have a thorough understanding of materials behavior at micro-scales under various processing conditions such as cutting and deformation.This book offers for the first time complete, practical guidance on all aspects of micro-scale manufacturing for non-silicon materials, including thorough discussions of the latest developments and findings in the field. Comprised of contributions by highly regarded experts from around the world, Micro-Manufacturing examines the design, material selection, and manufacturing of micro-products using mechanical-based micro-manufacturing process technologies. Numerous examples of applications, from smart phones and cameras to sensors and medical devices, are also included throughout.Readers will find a wealth of information about techniques, materials behavior, and processes, including:How to adapt proven micro-fabrication approaches for use with metal componentsQuestions of materials response at micro-scales and various limitationsHow the different modeling approaches in micro-manufacturing compareMetrology, inspection, and quality-control issues at micro-scalesMicro-layered manufacturing processes for products made of metal or plasticMicro-forming, micro-machining, micro-molding, micro-laser, micro-joining, and micro-assembly processesMicro-EDM processes and related aspects of equipment development From the Back Cover The first-of-its-kind guide to metal-based micro-manufacturing processesWith consumer products and industrial applications evolving toward smaller integrated devices with multi-functionalities, scientists and engineers in modeling, design, and manufacturing are increasingly expected to have a thorough understanding of materials behavior at micro-scales under various processing conditions such as cutting and deformation.This book offers for the first time complete, practical guidance on all aspects of micro-scale manufacturing for non-silicon materials, including thorough discussions of the latest developments and findings in the field.
