Engineering of Micro/Nano Biosystems, 1st ed. 2020
Fundamentals & Applications
Microtechnology and MEMS Series

This tutorial book offers an in-depth overview of the fundamental principles of micro/nano technologies and devices related to sensing, actuation and diagnosis in fluidics and biosystems. Research in the MEMS/NEMS and lab-on-chip fields has seen rapid growth in both academic and industrial domains, as these biodevices and systems are increasingly replacing traditional large size diagnostic tools. This book is unique in describing not only the devices and technologies but also the basic principles of their operation.

The comprehensive description of the fabrication, packaging and principles of micro/nano biosystems presented in this book offers guidance for researchers designing and implementing these biosystems across diverse fields including medical, pharmaceutical and biological sciences. The book provides a detailed overview of the fundamental mechanical, optical, electrical and magnetic principles involved, together with the technologies required for the design, fabrication and characterization of micro/nano fluidic systems and bio-devices.

Written by a collaborative team from France and Korea, the book is suitable for academics, researchers, advanced level students and industrial manufacturers.

Dr. HDR. Grégory Barbillon completed his PhD in Physics (2007) with greatest distinction at the University of Technology of Troyes (France). Then, he obtained his Habilitation (HDR) in Physics (2013) at the University of Paris Sud (Orsay, France). From September 2017, he is Professor of Physics at the Faculty of Engineering "EPF - Ecole d'Ingénieurs" (Sceaux, France). His research interests are focused on Plasmonics, Nano-Optics, Non-Linear Optics, Nanophotonics, Condensed Matter Physics, Optical Sensing, Biosensing, Nanotechnology, Surface Enhanced Spectroscopies, Sum Frequency Generation Spectroscopy, Materials Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Fluorescence.

Dr. Alain Bosseboeuf received in 1980 a master degree in microelectronics from INPG and a telecommunication engineer diploma from ENSTBr and in 1981 a master degree in Solid State Physics from University Paris 6. He received in 1989 the state PhD degree in Physics from University Paris Sud (Orsay). Since 1983 he works as a CNRS full-time researcher first in Institut d’Electronique Fondamentale (IEF) and since june 2016 in Centre for Nanoscience and nanotechnology (C2N) a joint research institute of CNRS and University Paris-Sud. He worked for 10 years on thin film deposition and characterization and then in the field of micro/nanosystems. He led for 10 years the research group “NanoBio and Micro/nanosystems” of IEF. He belonged to various expert, steering and conference committees in the field of microsystems. Since November 2005, he is coordinating the international research network NAMIS (Nano and Microsystems) involving 12 partners from 10 countries and 3 continents. His current interests include thin films, MEMS and packaging technologies, and the development of associated characterisation tools.
