CREATE MTA course project supported by YMF

Congratulations to the CREATE MTA trainees participating in the course project of ENG6600 Microsystem Design, supported by YMF.

We are pleased to see that all participants have developed and demonstrated excellent microfabrication skills. In particular, we are thrilled to see successful prototypes pass validation and testing.

The photo below shows a hotwire flow sensor (bottom) for measuring flow rate. The device consists of a silver wire, created through wet etching of a sputtered silver layer, and a PDMS microchannel. The device's performance is simulated in COMSOL Multiphysics (top left) and compared with the experimental results (top right).
