Generic Technology, Measurement and Standards Issues in Micromachining and Microfabrication

Published

Author(s)

Dennis A. Swyt

Abstract

Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are integrally-fabricated hybrids of micromechanical and microelectronic elements which serve together as sensors, actuators, or both. While there are proprietary issues in MEMS products currently in or near commercial production, there are also a number of generic technology, measurement, and standards issues which may be addressed.
