TEMPE, AZ —Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology creates unprecedented challenges throughout the design and manufacturing process for any company brave enough to use it. Not only does test ...

When it comes to testing microelectromechanical system devices and sensors, sometimes you have to shake and bake. and sensors are physically different from standard ICs. They require a specific type ...

The MEMS industry is growing rapidly, but early testing is still much neglected. At a glance, manufacturing MEMS devices and classic ICs seem quite similar, but the behavior of MEMS devices is much ...

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

STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, has introduced the market's first MEMS water/liquid-proof absolute ...

Not so long ago, experts were unsure if micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) would become more than a laboratory curiosity. But the latest market projections show a growth in the MEMS market by a ...

Infineon has introduced its XENSIV SP49 tire pressure monitoring sensor, which integrates MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) sensors and ASIC to provide advanced tire pressure monitoring systems.

STMicroelectronics is strengthening its global sensors capabilities with the planned acquisition of NXP Semiconductors’ MEMS sensors business, focused on automotive safety products as well as sensors ...

Although it requires a new generation of test equipment, testing MEMS devices is challenging but not impossible. Since the early days of the IC industry, wafer-level test has been possible using ...
