Description
Summary:With the inexhaustible needs for smaller and more portable devices around, we have seen great advancements in the Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). A MEMS device is basically an integration of mechanical elements, sensors and electronics on a common silicone substrate with the use of micro-fabrication processes. Apart from the electronics which are manufactured using Integrated Circuit (IC) process sequences, the micro-mechanical components are produced by technologies like Bulk Micromachining, Surface Micromachining and Deep Reactive Ion Etching. Examples of MEMS devices are pressure sensors and MEMS devices for secure communications.
