Moores Law
The number of components (e.g., transistors) on a chip roughly doubles every 18 months.

Figure reproduced from Moore's 1965 Electronics Magazine article, shows his findings. This trend suggested that processing power would rise exponentially and at a fast rate, leading to a computing revolution.

From ICs to MEMS and NEMS

ECE 510

Slide:17

Electronics are fabricated using integrated circuit (IC) process sequences The micromechanical components are fabricated using compatible "micromachining" processes that selectively etch away parts of the silicon wafer or add new structural layers to form the mechanical and electromechanical devices. MEMS promises to revolutionize nearly every product category by bringing together silicon-based microelectronics with micromachining technology, making possible the realization of complete systems-on-a-chip.

What are Bio-MEMS?


BioMEMS-or biomedical microelectromechanical systems, has emerged as a subset of MEMS devices From the engineering perspective, micro- (and even nano-) technology is rapidly becoming the engineering of the future. From the application perspective BioMEMS devices span a wide range of important questions in environment, healthcare and defense
