Give MEMS A Fulcrum, and It Shall Move The World

What is MEMS?

MEMS is short for Micro-electro-mechanical Systems. It s a technology that are made using the techniques of microfabrication. So MEMS has very small size ranging 1μm~several mms.

Functional elements of MEMS are miniaturized structures: microstructure, microsensors, microactuators and microelectronics, among which the most notable components are the microsensors and microactuators. Despite small size, MEMS exerts great function in various fields including  astronomy, networking, communications and so on.

How MEMS works?

The principle is simple. Microsensors and microactuators convert energy from one form to another, like a measured mechanical signal into an electrical signal. Electromagnetic induction works through mechanical arm + electrode (made of electromagnetic coil) to drive it work. When electromagnet induction lines mechanical arm with transmission line, it's on. To the contrary, when mechanical arm is disconnected with transmission, it is off.

Features of MEMS

 MEMS is distinguished with Smart and Multidisciplinary.

MEMS is Extremely Small and available for Batch Production

MEMS boasts Multifunction and High Level of Integration

MEMS Applications

As a breakthrough technology, there are numerous possible applications for MEMS. MEMS is enabling new discoveries in science and engineering. It has been widely used in motor, medicine and environment and made great contribution to daily life. 

Besides, MEMS owns huge potentials in communication, optical network and process automation. As we are at the threshold of an era of 5G, MEMS will participates in connecting the future which requires higher, faster and better networking with  the world of mass data and information. 

At present, MEMS is cutting a figure in home security, chemistry, pharmacy and food processing.
