MEMS MOEMS Nano Workshop “What are the possibilities of small but movable machines?” - R. Feynman 1959 Feynman described MEMS and “Nano” 1 Introduction & Overview • Ken Gilleo PhD • ET-Trends LLC
Sections • MEMS/MOEMS Introduction/overview • Nanotechnology Overview • MEMS Fabrication • MEMS Mechanisms & Operation • Introduction to Packaging • MEMS Special Packaging Requirements • Nano Packaging • MEMS Packaging • Commercial Packages for MEMS • Summary & Future
Outline • What’s MEMS? • MEMS/MOEMS Fundamentals • Features & Attributes • Mechanics & Motion • Applications
MEMS • Micro: small scale; similar to IC feature size* • Electro: electrical power & electronics • Mechanical: adds mechanical motion • System: integrated; can be a System-on-Chip Mechanical MOTION must be involved Retains electronic features while adding mechanical structures * Micro – not yet Nano -- NEMS
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 • Integrated CMOS; iMEMS; • Wafer-level connected • Separate chips
