Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) Market in Mobile Phones 2008-2012

Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) is the integration of mechanical elements, sensors, actuators, and electronics on a common silicon substrate through microfabrication technology. MEMS technology allows the development of smart products, augmenting the computational ability of microelectronics with the perception and control capabilities of microsensors and microactuators. In MEMS, the electronics are fabricated using integrated circuit (IC) process sequences. The micromechanical components of MEMS, on the other hand, are fabricated using compatible "micromachining" processes that selectively etch away parts of the silicon wafer or add new structural layers to form the mechanical and electromechanical devices.
