Analog Devices has pioneered the industrialization of surface micromachining and has realized the co-integration of MEMS and integrated circuits.
Already, such small devices, known as Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), are used in automobiles to tell airbags when to deploy,sfn in digital projectors to create sharper images, and in inkjet printers to create nozzles for high definition printing.
Built into each earpiece are two advanced MEMs microphones that have a beamforming function for picking up the user’s voice for more clarity and better audio quality on phone calls.
Before MEMS, the primary system used to deploy airbags was called a " rolamite ".
An important emerging class of optical crossbars is being implemented with MEMS technology.
Anisotropic etch processes, where vertical etch-rate is high, but lateral etch-rate is very small are essential processes in microfabrication of integrated circuits and MEMS devices.
