Article: MEMS designs mix art and science.(Special Report)

Although many engineers take advantage of standard MEMS devices such as pressure and acceleration sensors, some designs require custom MEMS. In this article, the conclusion of ECN's two-part MEMS Series, you will learn how engineers can develop MEMS devices tailored to specific needs.

To start, a MEMS design team requires knowledge of process technologies, mechanical modeling and overall MEMS design. Many universities have MEMS research programs that provide access to their labs, professors and graduate students. Collaboration with a university program lets a company quickly get involved in MEMS development. If no local university offers a MEMS program, ...
