MEMS microcantilever resonating inside a scanning electron microscope. Proposal submitted to DARPA in 1986 first introducing the term "microelectromechanical systems". MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) is the technology of microscopic devices incorporating both electronic and moving parts. MEMS are made up of components between 1 and 100 ...
Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published bimonthly by IEEE.It covers advances in MEMS and related microtechnologies.Published under the joint sponsorship of IEEE Electron Devices Society, IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, and IEEE Robotics and Automation Society, its editor-in-chief is Gianluca Piazza (Carnegie Mellon University).
Microelectromechanical system oscillators (MEMS oscillators) are devices that generate highly stable reference frequencies used to sequence electronic systems, manage data transfer, define radio frequencies, and measure elapsed time. The core technologies used in MEMS oscillators have been in development since the mid-1960s, but have only been ...
Piezoelectric microelectromechanical systems. A piezoelectric microelectromechanical system (piezoMEMS) is a miniature or microscopic device that uses piezoelectricity to generate motion and carry out its tasks. It is a microelectromechanical system that takes advantage of an electrical potential that appears under mechanical stress.
Nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) are a class of devices integrating electrical and mechanical functionality on the nanoscale. NEMS form the next logical miniaturization step from so-called microelectromechanical systems, or MEMS devices. NEMS typically integrate transistor-like nanoelectronics with mechanical actuators, pumps, or motors ...
Radio-frequency microelectromechanical system. Fig. 1: (a) A capacitive fixed-fixed beam RF MEMS switch, connected in shunt to a CPW line. (b) An ohmic cantilever RF MEMS switch, connected in series to a microstrip line. A radio-frequency microelectromechanical system (RF MEMS) is a microelectromechanical system with electronic components ...
The term MEMS, for Micro Electro Mechanical Systems, was coined in the 1980s to describe new, sophisticated mechanical systems on a chip, such as micro electric motors, resonators, gears, and so on. Today, the term MEMS in practice is used to refer to any microscopic device with a mechanical function, which can be fabricated in a batch process ...
3D view of MEMS electrothermal actuator [1]. A MEMS electrothermal actuator is a microelectromechanical device that typically generates motion by thermal expansion.It relies on the equilibrium between the thermal energy produced by an applied electric current and the heat dissipated into the environment or the substrate.
