Preface
Microsystems technology, which is considered to be a key technology for the 21st century, integrates signal processing with miniaturized sensors and actuators. This opens up a whole range of new applications going beyond purely microelectronics systems. For some time now, microsystem products have emerged as an important part of our everyday lives as witnessed by their successful application in various fields such as car-making, biomedical engineering and communications technology. Whereas the field of microsensors is already highly a
