Next-generation system-on-chip designs are expected to be composite microsystems with microelectromechanical and microfluidic components [15,23]. These mixed-signal and mixed-technology systems monolithically integrate microelectronics with microsensors and microactuators, thereby leading to chips that cannot only compute and communicate, but also sense and actuate. This high level of integration is enabling a new class of microsystems targeted at health care, environmental monitoring, biomedical analysis, harmful agent detection for countering bio-terrorism, and precision fluid dispensing [13].
