Ohio State works towards lower MEMS costs

摘要

Ohio State University researchers are using a Coherent, Inc. (Santa Clara, CA) high-power diode laser system for microwelding thermoplastics. These thermoplastics may enable lower cost, disposable MEMS device housings for bio-medical engineering, communications and sensor applications. "One of the hottest topics in engineering research and development is Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS)," said David Grewell, researcher at Ohio State University.
