Products Driving MEMS Adoption Mobile Phones/PMP Notebook PCs Free fall detection Game Controllers Input Devices/ Remote Controllers ST sells to major OEMs in all these market segments 1
Easy navigation in mobile phones Portrait / Landscape auto-detection On-screen map readjustment 2
Take a better Picture NOT Stabilized Piezoelectric Solution are power hungry and bulky Stabilized 3
ST MEMS History > 3x > 2x > 10x 228M$ 102M$ 31M$ 3M$ 4
ST: Top of the list # 1 5
Microelectronics and… One possible example Bio Systems 6
Biosystems Some Common Technology Platforms • Bio - GREEN • Animal • Plants • Bio - WHITE • Water • Air • Bio - RED • People • Heart • Blood • Insulin • Certification • Food contamination • Control • Process Monitor • Seismology • Landslides • Avalanches • Bio-defense 7
Healthcare: facts and figures • The issues: • Aging population (worldwide) • Need to improve the quality of service • Need to provide additional services • In 2007 $2 trillions spent in the USA on healthcare • 25% of the national economy (USA) tied up in healthcare by 2025 • Underdeveloped countries do not have enough healthcare professionals to serve the population in far-away regions 8
Today… SAMPLES EXTRACTION DIAGNOSTIC CENTER Physiological samples to Diagnostic Center . IN SPECIALIZED CENTERS .ASSISTED 9
… tomorrow MEDICAL CENTER “Bio-to-Bit” POINT OF CARE AT HOME .TOTALLY PORTABLE .EASY TO USE AUTO-MONITORING Bio-Sensors AUTOMATIC ANALYSIS . AT HOME-IN OFFICE . NOT ASSISTED 10
“Bio-to-Bit”: convergent technologies • Lab-On-Chip • Sensors • - Actuators Connectivity - Bio - Medicine - Pharma RFID Ultra low power Internet GPS WPANLow bit rate DVB-H Bluetooth WLAN GPRSEDGE/3G network Cellular WLANBluetooth WPANHigh bit rate(UWB) 11
Bio-to-Bit Platforms • Bio-sensors • Sensor networks (body gateway) • Connection through low power wireless • From specialized medical center to personal environment (body, home, office, car) • Individual autonomy in the sample extraction (no needs of specialized assistance) • ‘bit’ transmission instead of biological samples movement 12
Bio-to-Bit: a few building blocks • Thermo-reactors (PCR for DNA - qPCR for DNA) • Electronic noses • Ethylometer • Pumps • Valves • Syringes • Wet-ability • Microfluidic (idrofilia, idrofobia) • Electro-Dielectrophoresys • Energy Scavenging (piezo, magnetic, electromagnetic , …) 13
Bluetooth off-body sensing Weight Glucose Movements Temperature 14
And more… Array of Smart Micro-Robotic Medical Instrumentation Main Vision System Assistive Platform Multiple Wireless Modules Sealing Elements Operative Platform 15
Conclusion • Lateral thinking • Radical innovation • Cross-competences and multidisciplinarity • Solid microelectronics technologies Answer to real needs of our society Improve the quality of our life 16
Conclusion Long life toSilicon; itspervasivenessimproves the qualityofourlives!!! Thankyou 17
