Microelectromechanical System

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.
