Déjà vu all over again: It feels all so familiar with MEMS poised to cross the chasm just like analog did 20 years ago. A perfect storm is brewing in semiconductor design and it reminds of a period ...

MEMS-based accelerometers are increasingly deployed in harsh environments where mechanical stress is not just expected but constant.

MUNICH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cadence Design Systems, Coventor, X-FAB and Reutlingen University announced the grand prize winner of the Global MEMS Design Contest 2018 at CDNLive EMEA 2018, the Cadence® ...

Creating a sensor-based IoT edge device is challenging, due to the multiple design domains involved. But, creating an edge device that combines the electronics using the traditional CMOS IC flow and a ...

Micro-electro-mechanical systems have been available for years, and have been successful in selected high-volume applications. But MEMS design is not as organized as it could be. MEMS design typically ...

Micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) represent a key technology in the measurement space. Whether you are looking to design, produce, and test your own MEMS and associated circuitry or develop a ...

Many of today’s design tools ignore the specialised requirements of MEMS design. Paul Double takes a look at what’s needed. Microelectromechanical-system (MEMS) devices are moving into many fields of ...

Because MEMS structures can deliver new features and capabilities in high-volume consumer products, electronics engineers are increasingly being confronted with a new opportunity and challenge: ...

Hammond is one of a team of MEMS design and process experts who are developing an improved RF MEMS switch for cell-phone RF (radio-frequency) front-ends. The MEMS effort at RFMD includes electrical ...

Standard Finite Element (FE) models, especially those that incorporate multiple physical domains, consist of detailed representations of a device that include a large number of Degrees of Freedom (DoF ...

Using technology borrowed from the semiconductor industry, companies are putting micron-sized components inside medical and biochemical devices. The promise of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), — ...
