I got this book because I was looking for model examples using the new IEEE 1076.1 VHDL-AMS standard.
The material on the simulation of microsystems is well presented, and the VHDL-AMS models are useful and provide insights into the potential use of the new standard for mechatronic device modeling.
The one drawback that I found was that more example models could have been provided, at increasing levels of complexity.
In all, a good first book on MEMS simulation.

Over the past two decades, technologies for microsystemsfabrication have made considerable progress. This has made possible alarge variety of new commercial devices ranging, for example, fromintegrated pressure and acceleration microsensors to activemicromirror arrays for image projection. In the near future, therewill be a number of new devices, which will be commercialized in manyapplication areas. The field of microsystems is characterized by its wide diversity,which requires a multidisciplinary approach for design and processesas well as in application areas. Although there is a commontechnological background derived from integrated circuits, it is clearthat microsystems will require additional application-specifictechnologies. Since most microsystem technologies are based on batchprocessing and dedicated to mass production, prototyping is likely tobe an expensive and time-consuming step. It is recognized thatstandardization of the processes as well as of the design tools willdefinitely help reduce the entry cost of microsystems. This creates avery challenging situation for the design, modeling and simulation ofmicrosystems. Methodology for the Modeling and Simulation of Microsystems isthe first book to give an overview of the problems associated withmodeling and simulation of microsystems. It introduces a newmethodology, which is supported by several examples. It should providea useful starting point for both scientists and engineers seekingbackground information for efficient design of microsystems.
