Microelectromechanicalsystems (MEMS) promise to revolutionize a multitude of product categories by uniting silicon-based microelectronics and micromachining technology, making possible the production of the complete system-on-a-chip.
MEMS technology has finally entered a rapid growth phase and is expected to quadruple by 2004. The telecommunications segment is expected to increase by more than 30 percent of the total MEMS market in 2005. In this segment, photonic switches, tunable lasers and optical networking filters are the most promising MEMS products. At this time, a large array of MEMS products are moving into production, and will impact a range of ...
