There are many BIG ideas for these small devices but product development can be hindered by obstacles such as the application specific nature, low volume production and specialist packaging requirements. Despite this some very successful MEMS products have penetrated the mass market and the uptake of MEMS is expected to grow significantly in the coming years.
This IMAPS-UK Technical Seminar being supported by the IeMRC will investigate the MEMS product development chain from research, design and development through to packaging and test, exploring techniques which help to address these challenges. The event will provide the opportunity for:
• Updates on the latest MEMS developments & technologies
• Networking between end-users, supply chains and technology providers
• Business development opportunities for your Company & its products
Presenting companies and institutions include:
Keynote Presentation: Yole Développement – MEMS Manufacturing & Packaging Trends
Heriot-Watt University – SMART MICROSYSTEMS: a flagship project form the IeMRC
BAE Systems – Producing MEMS devices for niche applications in modest volumes
Optocap – Packaging of MEMS
Teradyne – Testing of MEMS Devices
Semefab – Requirements for MEMS Manufacture
iSLI – MEMS and Wireless sensor networks for condition monitoring applications
Unisem – MEMS Manufacturing in the UK Achieving Excellence
Selex Galileo – Taking MEMS to new markets
Table top exhibition & Poster display:
In addition, there is a complementary tabletop exhibition showcasing leading companies in the field and Poster displays from MEMS related University projects throughout the UK.
Who should attend:
End Users, Research & Development Engineers, Scientists, Production & Manufacturing Engineers, Supply Chain Companies, Process Engineers, Product Designers & Students
The event is open to all, including non IMAPS-UK members; however recent IMAPS-UK events have sold-out and early bookings are recommended. Further details can be found by visiting the Societies website www.imaps.org.uk or by emailing the events coordinator: mems-event@imaps.org.uk
