    Micro machines are microelectromechanical systems that convert power between electrical and mechanical domains on a microscale. They are capable of providing substantial power and can be fabricated and integrated with microelectronic circuits using microfabrication processes. Because of their small size and light weight, micro machines are used in many electronic appliances like laptops and cellphones. They are designed, fabricated, tested, and packaged. Common materials used include silicon, polymers, metals, and ceramics. Micro machines are light weight, relatively cheap, compact, and portable but fabrication inaccuracies pose technical limitations.

    MICRO MACHINES

    BY TEBOGO SUGAPE
    INTRODUCTION

    Micro machines are microelectromechanical systems(MEMS)


    that are used in the conversion of power between electrical and
    mechanical domains on a microscale. This devices(motors and
    generators) are capable of providing a substantial amount of
    mechanical or electrical power.
    Because of their size and light weight, they can be fabricated
    and integrated with microelectronic circuits using
    microfabrication process.
    APPLICATION OF MICRO
    MACHINES

    The size and light weight of micro machines allows them to


    used in so many appliances which include laptops,cellphones
    and more. Below are some of the micro machines used in most
    electronic gadgets.
    PROCESS OF MAKING MICRO
    MACHINES
    1. MICRO MACHINE DESIGN
    2. FABRICATION
    3. TESTING
    4. PACKAGING
    TYPES OF MICRO MACHINES
    MATERIALS USED

    SILICON
    POLYMERS(crystalline silicon)
    METALS(gold and nickel)
    CERAMICS(silicon carbide)
    PROPERTIES

    LIGHT IN WEIGHT BECAUSE OF THEIR SMALL SIZE


    RELATIVELY CHEAP
    COMPACTNESS
    PORTABILITY
    TECHNICAL LIMITATIONS

    Imprecise fabrication methods


    CAD Design tool inaccuracies
    CONCLUSION

    BECAUSE MICRO MACHINES ARE SMALL, WHICH


    MAKES THEM PORTABLE, SO THEY WILL BE THE
    MOST IDEAL MACHINES TO USE IN THE FUTURE.
