Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) Market Definition
Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are miniature devices that integrate mechanical and electrical components at a microscopic scale. They typically range in size from micrometers (µm) to millimeters (mm) and are fabricated using semiconductor manufacturing techniques like photolithography, etching and deposition. The primary purpose of MEMS is to integrate mechanical and electrical components at a microscopic scale to perform sensing, actuation and control functions.
The microelectromechanical systems market consists of sales of microelectromechanical systems by (organizations, sole traders and partnerships) that involve the design, development, production and sales of miniature mechanical and electromechanical devices integrated with electronic circuits. These systems, often fabricated using semiconductor manufacturing techniques, are used in a wide range of applications, including sensors, actuators and microstructures in industries.
