MEMS Packaging & Integration – General Trends and Requirements for Advanced Applications

Novel information and communications technologies rely on state of the art hardware products. This requires a strong ownership in product optimization, advanced system architectures, overall integration and cooperation with key development owners in industry. MEMS technologies are ubiquitous in modern products and customer solutions, requiring ever increasing complexity in device processing, development and integration with other sub-blocks and technologies. While advanced CMOS and chip development has had a very mature development, MEMS will need to follow the same path in the long-run.

The talk will introduce the advances in MEMS technologies, the general process requirements to achieve state of the art solutions, and most importantly, the requirements in integration with other hardware development technologies.
