MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) technology involves the miniaturization of mechanical and electro-mechanical elements using microfabrication techniques. The development of MEMS began in 1965 with the invention of a tuner for micro electronic radios, and it continues to evolve through various generations. Future MEMS applications are expected to dominate electronics manufacturing, though challenges remain in foundry access, design, packaging, and standardization.
