Abstract

This presentation will address some of the latest market and technology developments for components using MST/MEMS such as portable consumer products, data storage devices etc. The impacts of these developments on the supply chain for MST/MEMS will be discussed. A MST/MEMS mantra is "there is no Moore's law in MEMS". This presentation will demonstrate that elements of MEMS roadmaps are appearing. Although the MEMS industry is highly diverse, sometimes trends can be identified which affect the industry as a whole. To identify and understand these trends is of the utmost importance for the service and equipment suppliers in the MNT/MEMS supply chain. These facilities have to invest in new technologies to be able to sustain their competitive position.
