MEMS Sensors: The Path to Mass Production
Virtual presentation from Mr. Paul Pickering, Managing director at Microtech Ventures
Abstract
The adoption of sensors over the last 20 years into numerous, high value markets like automotive, healthcare and mobile handsets has stimulated an unprecedented R&D investment in new devices to address the varied needs in the market. The future looks very bright for the continued growth in the market and the opportunity to design sensors into new applications is very broad. Traditionally, the development process from concept to mass production has been a “long and winding road” with significant production uncertainties about the critical performance aspects of the device, test methods and reliability. This presentation will provide a successful framework for the productization of sensors in various market segments. This approach to productization is the result of more than 20 years of manufacturing experience in various MEMS fabs. The objective of this presentation is to provide a proven set of best practices and recommended approaches for sensor development, characterization, productization and release to production for MEMS based sensors. Using these practices can accelerate the development, improve production yields and smooth the path to mass production.
