Session Description
This all-day session will address, from a global perspective, current and future applications and major issues associated with the creation of a MEMS-based system and its design and manufacturing/testing. The focus will be upon the system elements which compliment the MEMS sensor/actuator e.g. signal conditioning circuits, microcontrollers, embedded intelligence, networking circuits and their interaction with the MEMS device. System element connectivity and device/system packaging will be addressed. The session will begin with an overview of market and technology trends and the technology infrastructure to support the systems approach. World-renowned researchers from national laboratories and academia review some of their more significant current activities that are expected to form the basis of many innovative products scheduled for near-term commercialization. Technical staffers from major manufacturers and exciting new startups will present information on their technology approaches to systems solutions for current and future applications. A panel discussion will conclude the event.
Topics of interest include:
| Accelerometers | Humidity Sensors | Signal Conditioning/ASICs | RF MEMS |
| Actuators | “Smart” Systems | Design for Manufacturing/Test | System Tradeoffs |
| Chemical/Bio Sensors | Microassembly | Packaging/Connectivity | Structures |
| Design Tools/CAD | Microintegration | Photonic Sensors | Switches/Relays |
| Gyros/Rate Sensors | Nanomanufacturing | Pressure Sensors | Embedded Software |
Companies supporting these technologies will discuss recent developments in interface circuits, packaging/connectivity, MEMS software design tools, high-volume testing and specialized manufacturing equipment that are expected to play a major role in the successful commercialization of these technologies. A panel of industry experts will discuss a number of technical and commercialization issues. Audience participation is encouraged.
