  1. MEMS - Wikipedia

    • MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) is the technology of microscopic devices incorporating both electronic and moving parts. MEMS are made up of components between 1 and 100 micrometres in size (i.e., 0.001 to 0.1 mm), and MEMS devices generally range in size from 20 micrometres to a millimetre (i.e., 0.02 to 1.0 mm), although components arranged … See more

    History

    An early example of a MEMS device is the resonant-gate transistor, an adaptation of the MOSFET, developed by … See more

    Types

    There are two basic types of MEMS switch technology: capacitive and ohmic. A capacitive MEMS switch is developed using a moving plate or sensing element, which changes the capacitance. Ohmic switches are controll… See more

    Materials

    The fabrication of MEMS evolved from the process technology in semiconductor device fabrication, i.e. the basic techniques are deposition of material layers, patterning by photolithography and etching to produce the required sh… See more

  1. MEMS refers to technology that allows mechanical structures to be miniaturized and thoroughly integrated with electrical circuitry, resulting in a single physical device that is actually more like a system, where “system” indicates that mechanical components and electrical components are working together to implement the desired functionality.

    microelectromechanical system (MEMS), mechanical parts and electronic circuits combined to form miniature devices, typically on a semiconductor chip, with dimensions from tens of micrometres to a few hundred micrometres (millionths of a metre). Common applications for MEMS include sensors, actuators, and process-control units.

    MEMS are mechanical sensors and actuators that are fabricated using micromachining batch technologies similar to those used for integrated circuits. This translates into highly scalable production processes and low per-device production costs. MEMS have feature sizes ranging from micrometers to millimeters.
