Some New Applications of MEMS in the Biomedical and Environmental Fields

Article Preview

Abstract:

With the great progress of production process,MENS have applied to a lot of areas in recent years,and today they have become "fundamental devices",which are comparable with the IC. In this paper,we first discuss the main distinct advantages of MEMS as well as the important differences between MEMS and IC,then some latest research progresses on biomedical MEMS applications and MEMS sensor technology for harsh environment applications are briefly reviewed. Finally,possible future developments of MEMS are prospected.
