        <description><![CDATA[The MEMS Technology Department (http://mems.sandia.gov/) conducts research and development for advanced micro-electromechanical systems that push the technology envelope for national security applications and develops and maintains a core set of MEMS fabrication processes and technologies. Our programs in advanced MEMS include mechanisms, pressure sensors, inertial sensors, fluidic components, electrical switches, RF switches, RF filters, mirrors, planar light wave circuits (PLC), solar cells, and radiation detectors. We specialize in high-performance and high-security applications, where low cost is not the principle motivation for using MEMS. We use advanced techniques, such as, optical transduction of displacement, to achieve unique devices. Novel designs and applications are closely coupled to our processing technologies, pushing the design-processing envelope to enable special capabilities for national security needs. Our MEMS fabrication processing technologies include our baseline polysilicon surface micromachining process, SUMMiT V (Sandia Ultra-planar Multi-level MEMS Technology with five levels of polysilicon), and variations on SUMMiT V that incorporate, for example, silicon nitride layers, deep reactive ion etching (DRIE), silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers, and/or doping to create field effect transistors (SFET). Additional MEMS fabrication processes include post-CMOS compatible processes for molded tungsten and silicon nitride. Other MEMS core technologies include MEMS design, layout and analysis services; device testing and characterization; reliability science and testing; and failure analysis. Our fabrication processes and other core technologies are available outside of Sandia to support national security interests, for example, for prototype development and/or limited production of high-value devices. The department has strong ties to universities though a comprehensive University Alliance Program (http://mems.sandia.gov/ua/index.html) and with industry through our SAMPLES program (http://mems.sandia.gov/samples/index.html), which offers access to SUMMiT V at reasonable cost via shared-reticle wafers.]]></description>
        <responsibilities><![CDATA[Openings exist for undergraduate student interns to support projects in MEMS Technologies. Our current interests include the application of micro-systems technologies to sensors, actuators, micro-fluidics, micro-optics, photovoltaic cells, and radiation detection and generation.

These projects need the support of general mechanical or electrical engineering skills including mechanical/electrical design, finite element modeling, laboratory experimentation, data acquisition, and data analysis. Specific job assignments will depend upon the intersection of the needs of the projects at the time and the skills of the student.

Student internships are career development opportunities and the successful candidate will also be provided some opportunity to pursue his or her own research topic related to the work assignment, selected with guidance from the manager, project leader, and/or other staff.]]></responsibilities>
