Abstract:
MEMS devices are at 'the heart' of many microsystems that are providing paradigm shifts in sensing, communication, and navigation. Integrated timing and inertial navigation systems rely on CMOS processing 'brains' to interface with micromechanical devices and enable reconfiguration, sensor fusion and self-calibration in unprecedented ways. This talk will present a scalable MEMS platform that enables the co-integration of a wide array of devices, and discuss its interface with CMOS to create 3D integrated microsystems.
