From one of our favorite professors and MEMS personalities– Dr Pisano. Albert’s lectures are now available on the  iTunes University Podcast program.

Here is a recent interview that we did with Industrial and Embedded Systems. As the MEMS and Nano

 industry matures, the number of components per chip is increasing. While we’ve seen the integration in terms of MEMS mirror arrays for display and telecom switching applications, the trend is spreading to RF-MEMS. There’s some interesting work being done by Clark Nguyen’s group at UC Berkeley. 

 

The design challenges for designing multiple components on a chip are going to be very different from those faced by designing a single component on a chip. The interaction between elements becomes increasingly important. Element cross talk becomes an important factor.. More about this later…

In the meantime here is the interview that we did with IES…  BTW, the image was generated using the latest version of IntelliFAB/FABViewer part of our Clean Room suite of process simulation and visualization tools.

Well designed is a blog focused on the state of MEMS/Nano design. Over a period of time, we hope that it will become a central resource to MEMS/Nano designers and researchers worldwide as a town hall/tavern/meeting place to exchange ideas, view points, emerging trends, analyses, trivia and other useful information.

At the same time, Well Designed will also focus on the activities at IntelliSense and serve as our channel for communicating with the MEMS design community.
