Abstract
Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) is the integration of mechanical
elements, sensors, actuators, and electronics on a common silicon substrate
through microfabrication technology. MEMS technology allows the development of
smart products, augmenting the computational ability of microelectronics with
the perception and control capabilities of microsensors and microactuators. In
MEMS, the electronics are fabricated using integrated circuit (IC) process
sequences. The micromechanical components of MEMS, on the other hand, are
fabricated using compatible "micromachining" processes that selectively etch
away parts of the silicon wafer or add new structural layers to form the
mechanical and electromechanical devices.
