The small size, light weight and high-durability of MEMS, combined with the mass-fabrication ... super-Burnett equations), or moment methods based on taking the moments of the Boltzmann equation with flow variables (leading to Grad’s 13-moment equations or Levermore’ moment equati...

... cells are also active areas of research. Before multiphase flow in microchannels becomes a reality, however, several fundamental problems that arise from the small dimension of the channels must ... Most of these problems originate from the large curvature of the interface between two phases in these small channels. As a result, capillary effects and other related phenomena dominate in...

... R 111 the etch rate in nm/min and R v the groove widening, also in nm/min. The V-groove widening experiment then results in a R 111 of 2 .55 ± 0. 15 nm/min. In practice, this etch rate implies a mask underetching ... 0.9 m for an etch depth of 360 m. For a 1-mm-long V-groove and a 1° misalign- ment angle, a total underetching of 18 m is theoretically expected, with 95% due to...
