Massachusetts Institute of Technology
3.155J/6.152J
Microelectronics Processing Technology
Fall Term 2003
Instructions for the Microfluidics Lab Report
Your lab report should follow the format of the IEEE Electron Device Letters,The format from
the IC and MEMS Lab reports will be used,
Contents,Your Letter should include the following sections,
Title
By-line (Author,affiliation,and submission date)
Abstract (50–200 words)
Introduction
Experiment
Results and Discussion
Conclusion
References
Although Letters do not usually have appendices,you should attach the following two appendices
so the professors can better evaluate your work,
Appendix A,Data
Appendix B,Calculations
See the lecture slides,How to Write an IEEE Letter” for details about what should appear in each
section and appendix,In addition,the lecture on Monday,October 27
th
provides more details,
Length,Follow the guidance from the IC and MEMS Lab Report on length,
Limiting the Letter’s length will be challenging,Use the following to focus your writing,
Purpose,The purpose of your Letter is to evaluate the microfluidic mixer fabricated
and tested in the lab,and to discuss any differences between the mixer characteristics
(flow velocity,diffusion constant) and that which is expected,YOU SHOULD
FOLLOW THE GUIDANCE FROM THE DECMBER 1
st
LECTURE TO
DETERMINE THE TECHNICAL CONTENT TO BE INCLUDED,
Audience,You may assume that your audience is familiar with microfabrication and
fluidics,
Grading,For the Microfluidics Lab,you will receive a technical grade based on your Letter and
Appendices,The technical grade will be based on your critical evaluation of the measured flow
rate and diffusion constant as compared to the expected,
Deadline,Hand in your lab report at the last class on Wednesday,December 10
