3 Outline What’s MEMS? MEMS/MOEMS Fundamentals Features & Attributes Mechanics & Motion Applications

4 MEMS M icro: small scale; similar to IC feature size* E lectro: electrical power & electronics M echanical: adds mechanical motion S ystem: integrated; can be a System-on-Chip Retains electronic features while adding mechanical structures Mechanical MOTION must be involved * Micro – not yet Nano -- NEMS

5 MEMS; Electro vs. Electronic All MEMS must have “electro” feature Electro: power, control, sense and compute MEMS devices can have on-chip electronics Electronic circuitry for MEMS  Control, amplification, conditioning, etc. Electronics Locations 1. Integrated CMOS; iMEMS; 2. Wafer-level connected 3. Separate chips

11 Best MEMS Features Massively parallel manufacturing Can use Semi fabs; even older, smaller fabs Highly scalable; smaller = faster (less mass) Integrate everything; or bond wafers together Extraordinary functionality Ideal size for: optical, biological, chemical and human interaction

12 MEMS Advantages Taps the “mega” semiconductors infrastructure Merges motion & electronics & energy Can combine MEMS + CMOS logic on one chip Multifunctional; separate or combinations  Sense; movement, energy, molecules, microbes  Compute; electronic logic, memory  Move; motion to solids, liquids, gases, and MEMS devices  Control; energy, signals, matter, motion  Produce; reagents, drugs, life forms

13 Major Products Sensors (largest class; ~ 70%)  Motion detection; vehicles, machines, life forms  Position; gyroscopes, accelerometers  Force/pressure: gases, fluids, solids  Molecules; chemical, biological (emerging)  Energy; heat, light, mechanical Control  Energy; light, electrical, RF, sound, mechanical  Fluids; pumps for machines, biomedical, other  Gases; even MEMS rockets have been built  Reactions; for synthesis & analysis (incl. pharma)

14 MEMS Motion (actuation) Deformable; cantilevers, beams - “no wear out” Sliding; linear Rotating; partial, full, multi-plane Rotating Inter-contact; gears, wheels Hinges Ejectors; fluids, gas, solids Combinations More on ACTUATION Later
