Where’s the Growth in MEMS in the Post-Recession Economy?

–MEMS Industry Group members, Analog Devices, Applied Materials, Bosch Sensortec, Coventor and Kionix, to debate topic at Globalpress Electronics Summit

PITTSBURGH–(BUSINESS WIRE)–MEMS growth continues to outpace nearly all other segments of the electronics industry, claim market researchers. The question is “why?” Executives from leading companies in the MEMS supply chain – Analog Devices, Applied Materials, Bosch Sensortec, Coventor and Kionix – say that continued acceptance of MEMS, or microelectromechanical systems, stems from a variety of reasons. Growth has been spurred by high-volume manufacturing enabled by more abundant and efficient design tools and processes. At the upcoming Globalpress Electronics Summit panel, “MEMS is Hot,” top MEMS companies will explore the reasons why MEMS is growing so rapidly in a wide range of established and emerging markets. read more…
