MEMS Micro-Electro-Mechanical System

MEMS - Micro-Electro-Mechanical System

Micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology is one of the most exciting areas in the field of "analog" technology.

Sensitive, compact and inexpensive sensors based on MEMS technology allow system designers to add new capabilities to their products that make them easier to use, more functional and more reliable.

For example, in an Internet-enabled mobile phone or PDA, motion-sensing devices can be used to enable an intuitive user interface based on simple movements of the hand. In home appliances a vibration sensor chip can detect fault conditions and alert the user to the need for preventive maintenance before a failure occurs or even before a problem becomes perceptible.

All the packages of MEMS sensors are lead-free, according with the ST's ECOPACK® strategy of environment protection and sustainable development.
