Microsystems

Catalogue of disciplines

Overview

The master's direction prepares specialists in microsystems, bringing together a wide variety of microstructures, MEMS, MOEMS, RF-MEMS and BIO-MEMS, sensors smart sensors, actuators, microelectronic processing circuits. These systems combine two or more properties: electrical, mechanical, optical, chemical, biological or magnetic, in a multidisciplinary approach. Increasing complexity and diversity of microsystems implies, seemingly paradoxically, simulation, design and testing processes specific to devices and micro- and nano-electronic circuits. The Master has an almost encyclopedic, through the circuits it analyzes (and which represent microelectronics at the highest level), the cutting-edge nanotechnologies generation nanotechnologies it promotes, through the multifunctional test and characterization (on the IMT Bucharest platform) that it makes available students, but also by the openness and horizon that it gives graduates.

Who is it for?

The Master is intended for graduates from:
