The students are expected to have completed the mandatory courses of the Master, specially the course on Electronic, photonic and electrooptic components.

- Knowledge on the current state-of-the-art on microsystems and nanoelectronics and their potential applications. - Knowledge on the fundamentals of MEMS (Microelectromechanical Systems) and MOEMS (Micro-Opto-Electro-Mechanical Systems) and their use in different applications. - Knowledge on the new nanoelectronic technologies, materials and components that are slowly being incorporated to high added value electronic systems in fields like nanotechnology and bioengineering.

In a great number of electronic systems, microsystems like MEMS and MOEMS are embedded. In this course the different existing technologies will be presented, their applications and the challenges associated to the interconnection of such components to other subsystems. Another field of recent interest is nanoelectronics with new technologies, components and materials that are being incorporated in new systems and applications. These new nanoelectronic techniques and components as well as the associated methodologies to incorporate them in electronic systems of high added value will be presented, using examples based on real applications in fields like nanotechnology and bioengineering. 1.- Introduction to Electronic Microsystems and MEMS. 2.- Microsystems Design Fundamentals.
