- In recent years, micro- and nanotechnologies have become key technologies with a significant effect on the development of new products and production methods. Moreover, due to their enormous potential for new applications, micro- and nanotechnologies, in future, will increasingly affect our everyday life, with an impact, comparable to that of the industrial revolution in the 19th century, or the developments in microelectronics in the 20th century
- In most cases, micro- and nanotechnology go hand in hand with each other: nanotechnology devices need an implementation into a microtechnology environment, working as a linkage to the macroscopic world. On the other hand, microsystems benefit from novel functionality given by nanotechnology components
- Comprises the most advanced contributions to the International Forum on MicroNano Integration, the first conference focussing on synergy effects provided by the combination and mutual integration of micro- and nanotechnologies. The conference addresses researchers from industry and research institutes and covers a broad range of basic research aspects with a strong focus on technological applications
- Organised by VDI/VDE-IT and supported by the European Commission, the International Forum on MicroNano Integration will be held on December 3-4, 2003 in Potsdam, Germany
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
Part of the book series: VDI-Buch (VDI-BUCH)

About this book
In recent years, micro- and nanotechnologies became key technologies, having a significant effect on the development of new products and production technologies, as well as on novel medical diagnosis and treatment methods. Moreover, due to their enormous potential for new applications, micro- and nanotechnologies, in future, will increasingly affect our every days life, with an impact, comparable to that of the industrial revolution in the 19th century, or the developments in microelectronics in the 20th century.
Although, micro- and nanotechnologies, in general, are regarded as two independent disciplines, there is obviously an intense interaction between these two fascinating technologies. The term "MicroNano Integration", in this context, addresses the enormous potential of synergy effects, provided by the combination and mutual integration of micro- and nanotechnological elements.
In order to discuss the integration aspects of micro- and nanotechnologies, the "International Forum on MicroNano Integration", a conference, held in Potsdam, Germany on December 3-4, 2003 brought together researchers from both communities - from industries as well as from scientific institutions. The contributions to this book reflect the discussions during the conference.
