Dear Arkady There are many papers about the MEMS development. You can find them in some IEEE Journals and conferences proceedings, such as International Conference on Solid- State Sensors and Actuators, IEEE Miro Electro Mechancial Systems Workshop,etal. I'll offer you some papers' title as examples: 1.R.S.Payne, etal, "Surface Micromaching: From Vision to Reality to Vision", 1995 IEEE International Solid State Circuits Conference, pp.164. 2.K.D.Wise, "The Coming Opportunities in Microsensor Systems", Digiest Technical Papers, 1991 International Conference on Solid-State Sensors and Actuators(Transducers'91),1991, pp.2-7. 3.K.J.Gabriel, "Engineering Microscopic Machines", Scientific Amercian, Vol.260, September 1995, pp.118-121. Good luck Ruan Aiwu
