Tuesday, July 9, 10:30-12:30
Extreme Electronics TechXpot, South Hall, Moscone
Adding Value in Next Generation MEMS
We’ve invited some industry thought leaders to discuss some of the key issues facing MEMS companies as the sector transitions to a more mature high volume industry. Yole Developpement’s
Jean-Christophe Eloy gives an update on the market developments and technology trends that will impact the industry going forward. Rakesh Kumar, Global Foundries, discusses how big foundries will need to partner with companies across the MEMS ecosystem to provide a full solution that can compete with the IDMs. Iain Rutherford, X-FAB, considers the status and role of monolithic integration technology. Gina Park, Texas Instruments, looks at how opening development can grow the market for new applications. John Ivo Stivoric, BodyMedia, discusses the potential for much more sophisticated kinds of sensor fusion, combining motion data with biological measures for more intelligent health monitoring. And Jalinous Esfandyari, for STMicroelectronics
and CMP, explains ST’s interesting offering of its core intetial sensor THELMA technology as an open process through CMP.
Wednesday, July 10
MIG’s famous annual networking event. Stay tuned for details.
Thursday, July 11, 10:30-1:00
TechXpot North, North Hall, Moscone
MEMS & Sensor Packaging for the Internet of Things
The lineup of international speakers features Fairchild Semiconductor’s Janusz Bryzek, Robert Bosch’s Jiri Marek, VTT Technical Research’s Aarne Oja, Dai Nippon Printing’s Satoru Kuramochi, and EVGroup’s Thorsten Matthias discussing next requirements for MEMS packaging.
Registration for SEMICON West is only $50 until June 7, then goes up closer to the dates of the show. Register online at www.semiconwest.org

I am pleased to bring you part one of a three part series on the MEMS Evolution Revolution, written by my colleague, and long-time MEMS industry insider, Howard Wisniowski. Howard takes us with him to “visit” three exciting MEMS startups that are breaking new ground in the mobile/consumer market. In part one, we learn about bulk acoustic wave (BAW) solid state MEMS gyroscopes and meet MIG member company Qualtré.

I am pleased to bring you the second part of a three part series on the MEMS Evolution Revolution, written by my colleague, and long-time MEMS industry insider, Howard Wisniowski. In part 2, we will begin to learn about radio frequency (RF) MEMS, an innovative application called "Tunable Antennae", and a start up who is pioneering the advances of this new technology.

It is my pleasure to present the conclusion of the Guest blog trilogy on the MEMS Evolution Revolution, written by my colleague, and long-time MEMS industry insider, Howard Wisniowski. In part three, we will be introduced to one of the many new MEMS-based technologies coming to the forefront, MEMS timing devices. We will also take a look at Sand 9, another start up and MIG member that has developed a truly disruptive timing device.

I might have a problem. My heart rate is 150 BPM, which means I might be suffering from tachycardia according to WebMD. Or maybe I’m just exercising and am well within my heart rate range. Without the context, that 150 BPM number is absolutely worthless.
To understand what the number really means, a doctor is going to have to rely on the information I tell her. And let’s be honest; I’m a liar. We all are when it comes to our physical fitness. We all omit that chocolate cake we had for breakfast while exaggerating that nightly run around the block into a full mile. It’s called the Hawthorne effect, and it means we’re generally useless when it comes to providing context for any of our biological metrics.
