DESCRIPTION:Dr. Chang-Hyeon Ji  (Georgia Institute of Technology\, Atlanta
 )\nWith the advancements in modern electronics technology\, power generati
 on and management has become a keyword for innovation. Despite some of the
  successful implementation of new technologies\, modern electronic devices
  are becoming more and more energy demanding\, and the need for a higher d
 ensity energy generation and storage system together with a more efficient
  power conversion and management strategy are ever increasing. Power MEMS 
 (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) deals with all of these aspects of mode
 rn micro power systems. By introducing the MEMS technology to conventional
  approaches for power generation and power electronics\, many of the obsta
 cles\, such as the fabrication of complex micro structures and integration
  with the circuitry\, can be overcome. In this talk\, two examples of powe
 r MEMS\, micro generators and MEMS components and microfabrication technol
 ogies for an integrated power electronics will be presented. MEMS-based\, 
 fully-integrated\, airflow-driven\, rotary permanent-magnet generators and
  airflow-driven vibratory generators have been developed for stand-alone t
 ype micro power generation systems. As an example of MEMS technology for i
 ntegrated power electronics\, buried interconnect technology will be prese
 nted\, and the technological issues related to the development of these de
 vices will be discussed.
