Practice Questions

Question 1

Which of the following describes the primary challenge in the 'actuation' of NEMS devices compared to MEMS devices?

Question 2

A NEMS cantilever beam is used as a mass sensor. If the addition of a mass $ \Delta m $ changes its resonant frequency from $f_1$ to $f_2$, which relationship qualitatively describes the sensing principle? (Assume $f \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{m_{eff}}}$ where $m_{eff}$ is the effective mass)

Question 3

Which of the following best describes the 'bottom-up' fabrication approach in the context of NEMS?

Question 4

What is a critical consideration for the 'packaging' of NEMS devices that is less pronounced for MEMS devices?

Question 5

Which of the following describes a key challenge in the 'actuation' of NEMS devices compared to MEMS devices?
