Course Summary: This course introduces the student to the methodology and tools utilized in the design of RF MEMS and Accelerometers. In particular, by utilizing a case-study as learning vehicle, the student is given a practical “hands-on” opportunity to learn and exercise the CAD tools commonly used to conduct the mechanical and electromagnetic design aspects of an RF MEMS or an Accelerometer device. The students will be provided with temporary CAD tool licenses to mechanical and electromagnetic simulators to install in their laptops and perform hands-on simulations!

Who Should Attend: Students, scientists and engineers, with a background in conventional RF/microwave design, or accelerometer design, who wish to expand their knowledge to include the miniaturization advantages afforded by MEMS technology, and those with a background in mechanical engineering who wish to learn about MEMS design.


Course Objectives: This course aims at getting interested parties informed on:
•    RF MEMS and Accelerometer Device Physics
•    RF MEMS and Accelerometer Design

Dr. Héctor J. De Los Santos, NanoMEMS Research, LLC
Dr. De Los Santos received the Ph.D. degree from the School of Electrical Engineering, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, in 1989. He is President and CTO of NanoMEMS Research, LLC, Irvine, CA, a company engaged in Nanoelectromechanical Quantum Circuits and Systems and RF MEMS (NanoMEMS) research, consulting, and education, where he focuses on discovering fundamentally new devices, circuits and design techniques to implement NanoMEMS Systems-on-Chip. Prior to founding NanoMEMS in 2002, he spent two years as Principal Scientist at Coventor, Inc., Irvine, CA, where he led Coventor’s intellectual property R&D effort, with activities including the conception, modeling, and design of novel RF MEMS devices. From 1989 to 2000, he was employed at Hughes Space and Communications Company, Los Angeles, CA, where he served as Director of the Future Enabling Technologies IR&D Program. Under this program he pursued research in the areas of RF MEMS, Quantum Functional Devices and Circuits, and Photonic Bandgap Devices and Circuits. Dr. De Los Santos holds 17 US patents, and is author of bestseller textbooks, including Introduction to Microelectromechanical (MEM) Microwave Systems (1999), now in Artech House' IPF® (In-Print-Forever®) series, and RF MEMS Circuit Design for Wireless Communications (2001). His most recent book, Principles and Applications of NanoMEMS Physics, was published by Springer in 2005. From 2001-2003 he lectured worldwide as an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer of the Microwave Theory and Techniques Society. He has been recently elected an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer of the Electron Devices Society. He serves regularly as a reviewer for several technical journals, including, JMEMS, T-ED, T-MTT, and T-NANO, and funding agencies, in particular, the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the European Science Foundation. He is member of Tau Beta Pi, Eta Kappa Nu, and Sigma Xi. He is an IEEE Fellow.
