Salland Engineering ready to accelerate MEMS testing
Reading time: 6 minutes
The world doesn’t seem to be able to get enough of micromechanical sensors. However, the chip industry currently lacks the test technology when it comes to high-volume production of MEMS. Salland Engineering wants to change this by 2020.
Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) have experienced a real triumph in recent decades. Invisibly, but steadily, they’ve penetrated almost every application that requires information from its environment.
For highly specialized applications, discrete, customized MEMS sensors are already being utilized. But in some cases, the technology can also be integrated on CMOS chips. This allows MEMS to meet the high demands of the largest market, ie consumer electronics: compact dimensions, low costs and increased functionality. Navigation, height measurement and the current trend in movement tracking during sports – it’s all done utilizing information provided by MEMS sensors.
