Microtechnology

Microtechnology refers to the technology that involves the design, fabrication, and application of small-scale devices and systems, typically at the micrometer or nanometer scale. This field encompasses a range of disciplines, including engineering, materials science, and physics, to create components that can operate at a miniature scale. Microtechnology is prevalent in various applications, such as microelectronics (including semiconductors), microfabrication techniques for creating micro-scale components, and micro-sensors for various sensing applications. Its advancements have led to the development of smaller, more efficient devices in electronics, healthcare (such as micro-implants and drug delivery systems), telecommunications, and manufacturing. The ability to manipulate materials and components at such a small scale opens up new possibilities for innovation, leading to enhanced functionality and performance in numerous technologies.
