Modeling of Self-assembly in Microscale


   Integration of multiple functional small components with MEMS is an essential technology to extend MEMS functionality. Recently, self-assembly process has been attracting much attention as a promising technique to integrate multiple functional small components with MEMS. Theme of study is constructing the theoretical model of self-assembly process which is crucial to optimize the self-assembly process parameters to get higher assembly yield. Now we use self-assembly process of micro components using DNA hybridization to construct the model.
