Elective
3rd Cycle Studies
Teaching Methods
Oral presentation of theoretical concepts. Tutorial classes for implementation and/or exemplification of techniques and component/device/system characterization. Promotion of critical and collaborative student’s participation in active learning, based on case-studies, using research and commercial information. A casestudy will be performed, a report and an oral presentation is included in the evaluation.
Learning Outcomes
Acquisition of knowledge to select, monitor and adapt methodologies/technologies associated with the production of components/devices or an even system, whose most appropriate scale, to describe it, is the micrometer.

I Types of micromanufacturing (physics and chemistry): subtractive, additive and replicative processing.
Subtratives: micromachining – convencional and advanced processes (FIB and Biomachining); microgrinding.
Additive processes: CVD, PVD; Micro prototype; LIGA; 3D printing; microSLS. Replicative processes:
Microforming Micro/Nano-embossing (hot UV embossing). Microinjection moulding; Extrusion; Micro powder injection moulding; Microstamping; Microrolling; Microhidro/magnetic conformation; Microconformation by laser. II- Microbonding:Micromechanical; Microlaser; Microssoldadura; Micromaterial multilayer filling with selfsustaining reaction materials.
