  • Abstract
    The paper presents an efficient way to produce pedagogical, fully interactive and animated 3D process design simulators for MEMS. The aim of such simulators is to make the student learn the logical suite of process design steps that have to be taken to produce correct MEMS. By means of VRML, the learner can visualize the studied MEMS device at any stage of its fabrication from any angle. The associated Java program checks that the actions performed by the student are done in the right order with respect to time.
