Micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) are small devices that integrate mechanical and electrical functions on a single chip, ranging from 1 to 100 micrometers in size. They find extensive applications in automotive systems, medical devices, and various sensor-based technologies, offering advantages like improved accuracy and miniaturization, despite high establishment costs and design complexities. MEMS are poised to significantly impact the future of technology in various sectors, including automotive, biomedical, and communications.
