Omnitron Sensors, which makes MEMS sensor chips, has raised $13 million to create inexpensive sensors for self-driving cars. If it works, we could say goodbye to those big spinning domes atop ...
Cleaning is an essential process for MEMS applications in order to prevent device failure due to foreign material. Small particles located on MEMS devices are significant causes of device rejection ...
Microelectromechanical systems are an engineering marvel that mainstream industries such as automaking, medical devices and other high-precision manufacturers have integrated into their products for ...
This is the fourth in our series, Think Outside the Chip….MEMS-Based Systems Solutions. In previous articles, I and my fellow authors have addressed the basic concept of MEMS-based system solutions, ...
MEMS are primarily transducer systems that can control or sense chemical, optical, or physical quantities, such as fluids, acceleration, or radiation. A MEMS device/transducer possesses an electrical ...
MEMS are helping to advance biomedical devices by leaps and bounds, but technical and business challenges remain. Charles Chung, Ph.D. Shown are different pressure sensor designs—each tailored to ...
