3 unusual facts about Microelectromechanical systems


Microfluidic whole genome haplotyping

Microfluidics refers to the use of micro-sized channels on a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS).

Microsystems

Microelectromechanical systems, miniature electronic and mechanical systems less than a millimeter in size

Tiltmeter

A newer technology uses Microelectromechanical systems electronics, but it is not clear whether this can eventually displace the common bubble.


Deep reactive-ion etching

It was developed for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), which require these features, but is also used to excavate trenches for high-density capacitors for DRAM and more recently for creating through silicon via's (TSV)'s in advanced 3D wafer level packaging technology .

MEMS magnetic actuator

A MEMS Magnetic Actuator is a device that uses the MEMS process technology to convert an electrical signal (current) into a mechanical output (displacement) by employing the well known Lorentz Force Equation or the theory of Magnetism.

MEMX

was formed in October 2000 as a spin-off from Sandia National Laboratories' MicroElectoMechanical program, and was created to help commercialize Sandia's microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technologies.

Utkan Demirci

His research interests involve biological applications of Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) and acoustics, especially: microfluidics for low cost CD4 counts for HIV in resource-limited-settings for global health problems; acoustic picoliter droplets for cell-by-cell 3D tissue generation, and semiconductor applications; capacitive micromachined ultrasonic arrays (CMUTS) for medical imaging applications.
