Microelectromechanical
systems (MEMS) are micron-sized structures such as beams,
cantilevers, diaphragms, valves, plates, and switches
that can function as tiny sensors and actuators. They
are fabricated by integrated circuit (IC) manufacturing
processes; that is, by bulk and surface micromachining.
Like ICs, thousands of micro-machines can be fabricated
on a single wafer with supporting circuits integrated
on the chip. They can be mass-produced in the millions
at low prices, which is their main appeal.
The presentation will review major technological steps
that are involved in fabricating such structures using
various device examples that are currently built for
medical and optical applications. A short overview of
Silicon Quest capabilities in this field will be also
presented. |
