Welcome to MicroElectroMechanical System. A microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) describes the technology of the very small, and merges at the nanoscale (billionth of a meter) into nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) and Nanotechnology. Common MEMS applications include inkjet printers and components for airbag deployment in cars. A microelectromechanical system is the integration of mechanical elements, sensors, actuators, and electronics on a common silicon substrate through microfabrication technology.
While the electronics are fabricated using integrated circuit (IC) process sequences, the micromechanical components are fabricated using micro-processes that etch away parts of the silicon wafer or add new structural layers to form the mechanical and electromechanical devices.
Microelectronics can be thought of as the “brains” of a system and MEMS augments this decision-making capability by sensing the environment with “eyes” and “arms”. Sensors gather information and the electronics then process the information. Thank you for visiting and supporting MicroElectroMechanical System.

Boris von der Borch is a mean, greedy old pirate–tough as nails, through and through, like all pirates. Or is he? When a young boy sneaks onto Boris’s ship, he discovers that Boris and his mates aren’t quite what he expected.
