 University Alliance - Design Competition

UA Design Competition
The MEMS University Alliance Design Competition offers participating universities the opportunity to take part in an exciting program geared around MEMS design, fabrication and test. One category will emphasize novel design concepts for use in Sandia’s SUMMiT V process while the other category will emphasize characterization, failure modes, materials properties and the integration of nanotechnology with MEMS. University participants will have the opportunity to receive fabricated devices of their selected design.

 

Intent to submit and Participant form due date: Feb 8, 2008
MEMS Network Validation Process due date: Feb 1 - Feb 14, 2008
Design Submission Package due date: March 31, 2008
