MEF 2023 – MEMS ENGINEER FORUM

MEF is a unique venue operated by engineers among the key players in the field, bringing together MEMS researchers, developers, and engineers from all over the world to look at the current state of MEMS technology, which is considered as key technologies of the 21st century, and the future of the technology through the next decade.

The MEF will be a forum for engineers to share their unique perspectives and skills in the basic technologies of MEMS and adjacent fields to create new forms and fuse them together. Our mission is to verify the process of fusion and its completion on an international level.

ABSTRACT:
MEMS technology provides the building blocks for various smart systems, from wearable devices to smart cities. They are part of everyday life. MEMS are going through an unprecedented growth period, reaching $13.6B in 2021 and expected to cross the $22B mark in 2027, growing annually at a ~9% CAGR_21-27. If market volumes are coming from traditional MEMS devices  like microphones, RF MEMS, or inertial sensors that are found across a multitude of applications, there is great promise for future growth from emerging devices with the big hype being around MEMS timing/oscillators and microspeakers, as well as gas sensors or ultrasonic transducers (PMUT, CMUT). Combining development of communication and integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with MEMS technologies, manufacturers are providing new sensing or actuating solutions and bringing actionable insights. The presentation will highlight first the overall MEMS market growth and mention the main market trends impact. It will also show the main technology developments related to smart sensing.
