Put simply, MEMS (Micro-Electromechanical Systems) are extremely small devices utilizing both electrical and mechanical properties. They combine computing/logic circuitry with tiny mechanical devices such as sensors, valves, gears, mirrors, and actuators integrated on semiconductor chips. MEMS promise to revolutionize nearly every product category by bringing together microelectronics with micromachining technology, making possible the realization of complete systems-on-a-chip. MEMS is an enabling technology allowing the development of smart products, augmenting the computational ability of microelectronics with the sensing and control capabilities of micro-sensors and micro-actuators and expanding the range of possible designs and applications. Because MEMS devices are manufactured using batch fabrication techniques similar to those used for integrated circuits, unprecedented levels of functionality, reliability, integration, and sophistication can be placed on a small chip at a relatively low cost.
