MEMS, Microfluidics and Microsystems Executive Review

MEMS commercialization: from prototype to mass production

Minimizing time to market and efficiently transitioning products from R&D to production is a vital element for success in the MEMS industry.  We recently spoke with Henne van Heeren, founder of EnablingM3, a consulting company with a focus on MEMS commercialization, about transition costs, possible pitfalls and tips to ensure that the process goes smoothly.

Biomedical applications for MEMS and microfabrication

BioMEMS has been talked about as one of the most promising areas of microfabrication technologies.  We recently spoke with Dr. Leslie Field and Neha Choksi of SmallTech Consulting  about the current and future applications of BioMEMS as well as technologies which are now being commercialized by startups and Fortune 500 companies.

MEMS packaging: history and current trends

MEMS packaging has traditionally been especially challenging because nearly every process and device require a unique approach.  We recently spoke with Dr. Ken Gilleo, President of ET-Trends, a consulting and intellectual property firm focused on emerging technologies and device packaging.
