MEMS poised to move into the mainstream
By Peter Clarke
Combining microelectronics and micromechanics is very difficult, but the applications are there. So, too, are the manufacturers. With silicon fab costs skyrocketing, MEMS is looking more attractive than ever.

MEMS Moves to Mainstream
Tuesday, October 22, 2002 9:00 am Pacific; Noon EST
Moderated by Peter Clarke, News Director, Semiconductor Business News
Brian Fuller, EE Times Editor-in-Chief
Panelists:
• Marlene Bourne, Senior Analyst - MEMS, Emerging Semiconductor Applications, In-Stat/MDR
• Peter Clarke, News Director, Semiconductor Business News
• Adam Cohen, Chairman and Executive Vice President, Engineering, MEMGen
• Mike Mignardi, component R&D manager for DLP, Texas Instruments
• Dr. Yang Zhao, President & CEO, Memsic, Inc.
The signs are there: the breadth and depth of university research leading to
commercial start-ups, renewed interest amongst mainstream chipmakers and,
perhaps most significantly, the reaction of the semiconductor equipment
makers and their industry organization, who are now prepared to serve the
MEMS makers more directly.
Do not expect MEMS to suddenly blossom as microelectronics did in the
1960s and 1970s. MEMS remains extremely diverse and difficult. MEMS is
microelectronics PLUS micro-mechanics in pursuit of hundreds of applications
across all industry sectors.
This net seminar will set the context for a forthcoming revolution in miniature manufacturing and try to tease out the implications what happens when the technological potential of MEMS meets commercial opportunity.
