With over 80 papers and six keynote contributions, this volume details the state-of-the-art with regard to numerous aspects of advanced micro technologies with respect to metals, polymers, and ceramics, and the development of new production platforms for micro systems-based products.
The contributions from leading authors from universities, independent research and corporate organizations provide an invaluable overview of this rapidly moving subject and an insight into key developmental areas. This comprehensive collection of indexed and peer reviewed articles is also contained on a CD with search functionality.
