Mems/nems techniques and applications mode d'emploi

In this chapter, key aspects of MEMS technology and application impacts are illustrated through selecting a few demonstrative device examples, which consist of pressure sensors, inertial sensors, optical and wireless communication devices. Microstructure examples with dimensions on the order of sub-micron are presented with fabrication technologies for future NEMS applications. Although MEMS has experienced significant growth over the past decade, many challenges still remain.

Philips Innovation Services operates a state-of-the-art 2650 m 2 pure-play MEMS Foundry on the High Tech Campus in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. This MEMS Foundry is specialized in low to medium volume custom MEMS manufacturing. When off-the-shelf components do not meet your requirements, and you consider having a custom MEMS device especially made for you, you come to us. Nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) are MEMS scaled to submicrometer dimensions, to exploit the mechanical degree of freedom on the nanometer scale. In this size regime, it is possible to attain extremely high fundamental frequencies while simultaneously preserving high mechanical responsivity. This combination of attributes translates directly into high force sensitivity, operability at ultra-low power, and the ability to induce non-linearity with very modest control forces, leading to

MEMS and NEMS Micro-electro-mechanical Systems (MEMS), or the miniaturization of mechanical and electro-mechanical elements, has become increasingly important for a number of industries as the quest for reduced size and weight and improved speed and precision are critical in the development of communication, transportation, health care and defense systems.
