Thin Film/MEMS event offers view on current state of the art

With three speakers from different backgrounds, MinacNed gave a broad picture of the application of Thin Film / MEMS technology on April 20. This event is freely accessible to members of MinacNed and the aim is to exchange knowledge between experts and interested parties on a specific theme.

Thin Film/MEMS applications

From Philips, Rob van Schaijk has provided insight into new technology applications, including a look at the future of ultrasound imaging. Richard Norte, assistant professor at TU Delft, showed in his presentation how thin film mirrors are used and which interfaces there are with other nano application areas. Aaike van Vugt, CEO of VSParticle showed that his company focuses on the endless applications of nanoparticles and the collaboration they enter into with strategic partners. Moderator Frank van de Scheur led the session in which the speakers were challenged in discussion and by questions from the participants.

MinacNed has tackled a broad subject here, in which the three presentations have their own perspective, which gave the participants a brief impression of the application of Thin Film / MEMS. For those who have missed the session, it is possible to watch it again. Send an email to Aurélie Veltema via a.veltema@minacned.nl.

The 34th International Conference on Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (IEEE MEMS 2021)

The 34th IEEE International Conference on Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (IEEE MEMS 2021) is one of the premier annual events reporting research results on all scientific aspects of Micro/Nanoscale Devices, Micro/Nanosystems, as well as their relevant technologies and industrial trends. This conference captures the rapid proliferation from the commitment and success of the multidisciplinary microsystems and nanotechnology research communities. In recent years, the annual IEEE MEMS Conference has attracted more than 700 participants, 800+ abstract submissions and has established the forum for presenting over 200 select papers in lecture and poster sessions. Its highly integrated format provides ample opportunities for interactions among attendees, presenters and exhibitors. While the current COVID-19 pandemic and global travel restrictions impose unprecedented challenges on having the conference in traditional fashion, the IEEE MEMS 2021 will be the first-ever online/virtual conference in this series, and will be the international forum where our multidisciplinary communities showcase our resilience and sustained endeavors, in advancing the field and venturing into new frontiers.

IEEE MEMS 2021 will be held online worldwide, January 25 – 29 (Monday – Friday), 2021. The major areas of activities in the development of MEMS/NEMS solicited and expected at this conference include but are not limited to:

  • Design, simulation and analysis tools with experimental verification
  • Fabrication technologies and processes
  • Silicon and beyond-silicon materials (e.g., piezoelectric, ferroelectric, wide-bandgap, 2D materials, soft materials, composites, etc.)
  • Electro-mechanical integration techniques
  • Assembly and packaging approaches
  • Metrology and operational evaluation techniques
  • System architectures

The major areas of activities in the applications of MEMS/NEMS solicited and expected at this conference include but are not limited to:

  • Mechanical, thermal, and magnetic sensors and actuators, and micro/nanosystems
  • Opto-mechanical microdevices and microsystems
  • Fluidic microcomponents and microsystems
  • Microdevices for data storage
  • Microdevices for biomedical engineering
  • Micro chemical analysis systems
  • Microdevices and systems for wireless communication
  • Microdevices for power supply and energy harvesting
  • Nano-electro-mechanical devices and systems
  • Scientific micro-instruments and metrology
  • Emerging trends and new opportunities for MEMS/NEMS (e.g., quantum, internet of things, nonlinear dynamics, AI & robotics, etc.
