This new completely revised report brings you up to speed on MEMS development and steers you to those applications, which have, true commercial potential. MEMS technology is now reaching a critical stage in which new designs are rapidly emerging from research labs and finding their way into practical applications that range from disposable medical biochips to MEMS accelerometers that trigger airbags and MEMS transducers that monitor engine manifold pressures in automobiles. At the same time, with advances in processing and new mass production techniques, MEMS can now be manufactured for pennies apiece. In fact, many engineers predict that MEMS devices will have as profound an impact on everyday life as did the microchip.
