The role of MEMS in semiconductors is fairly well
defined
Laboratory structures created at Sandia National
Laboratories
The micro-machined technology is being used in
accelerometers, gyroscopes, pressure sensors,
micro-mirrors, microfluidic devices, acoustic-wave
filters, MEMS oscillators, and other
actuators. MEMS semiconductor products usually
contain some level of analog circuitry (to
amplify, filter, and convert measurement signals,
or physically drive microelectromechanical
structures) as part of their transducer
functions. Most devices are multi-chip
products today, built with MEMS functions on a
separate die from the rest of electronics
circuitry in order to optimize manufacturing
steps, simplify designs, and lower overall cost.
But exactly what are Microsystems?

MEMS-based Sensors fall mainly into two market
segments
Acceleration yaw sensors (or inertial
sensors) exceeded magnetic-field sensor sales for
first time in 2008. Accelerometers today
represent about 70 of inertial sensor sales and
gyroscope devices the rest. Pressure sensor
sales suffered from automotive slump despite new
high-growth applications in solid-state
microphones, medical, and tire-pressure
measurement.

Overall, MEMS-based Actuators have struggled
