RELATED PROJECTS:
--Field-assisted anodic bonding study for direct Fiber-to-Si attachment (2003-2004): The goal of this project is to pick the fiber that was made of special type of glass material, which is able to be bonded with Si based MEMS pressure sensor through field-assisted anodic bonding process.
--Design and test CMOS photo sensor pixel (year of 2002-2003): The goal of this project is to design and implement several different type photosensors, and their performances were compared through experimental testing.
--Fabrication and characterization of MEMS pressure sensor (2001): In this project, MEMS pressure sensors were fabricated through bulk micromachining process and their performances
were evaluated.
--Fabrication and characterization of GaAs MESFETs (year of 2001): In this project, MESFETs of different sizes had been fabricated on GaAs wafer from scratch and their performances were evaluated.
--Design, simulate and test a simple Microprocessor (2000): In this project, a simple microprocessor was designed and simulated through an Altera version HDL language. Then, the microprocessor was implemented on an Altera FPGA chip. Its functionalities were also tested.
--Study of violin’s vibration and sound radiation (1998-1999): In this project, a violin’s vibration mode in play is studied through dynamic analysis method to identify its vibration normal mode.
--Study of fast laser ablation on porcine skin (1997-1998): In this project, Q-switch 1064nm ns laser pulses were used to ablate the porcine skin. The ablation probability at different laser pulse energy was measured to identify the ablation mechanism.
