Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are a technology that combines mechanical and electrical components at the microscale, typically ranging from 1 to 100 micrometers. MEMS sensors and resonators have emerged as indispensable components across various applications, ranging from telecommunication to sensing systems and beyond. Their miniature size, low power consumption, and high sensitivity make them ideal candidates for a wide array of applications, revolutionizing industries and enabling novel technological solutions.
The future of MEMS technology holds promise with ongoing research in areas like advanced manufacturing technologies, functional materials, and integration with emerging fields such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and biomedical devices. As MEMS technology continues to evolve, it will enable even more innovative applications and further miniaturization in the field of sensing and telecommunication.
