MEMS and Sensors
With the growing consumer demand for smart devices capable of sensing, communicating and controlling applications, MEMS and Sensors are becoming an important packaging solution due to their smaller footprint, thinner profile and functional integration capabilities. MEMS and sensors can be found in a wide range of systems in the communications, consumer, medical, industrial and automotive markets.
Sensors
A sensor is a device or system that detects/measures a physical property and then records, reports and/or responds to the stimulation. Sensors are typically assembled in a module that responds based on the stimulation or feed to the sensor. There are many different types of sensors and applications such as:
Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS)
MEMS is a specialized sensor that combines mechanical and electrical components in a discrete format or a module. MEMS are typically multi-die solutions such as a sensing die paired with an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). A MEMS device can consist of mechanical elements, sensors, actuators, and electrical and electronics devices on a common silicon substrate. Some of the advantages of using a MEMS based sensor in consumer, automotive and mobile applications are smaller size, low power consumption, lower cost, etc.
