SAN JOSE – MEMS Industry Group and MEPTEC will hold meetings in May in San Jose to discuss advancements and trends in microelectromechanical systems fabrication and integration. MEMS Industry Group’s members-only meeting METRIC will identify and overcome technical and business challenges to MEMS fabrication. Topics to be discussed include optimizing MEMS fabrication, new opportunities for MEMS (including advances in packaging technologies and alternatives to silicon), tradeoffs between the captive fab versus the fabless business models, and how to partner and work with a foundry. METRIC will be held May 18-19. For more information, visit www.memsmetric.com. The Microelectronics Test and Packaging Engineering Council’s MEMS Symposium will discuss transitioning from fully integrated to separate MEMS and IC, the transition from automotive MEMS to consumer MEMS, software applications and accelerometers in cellphones, ASICS/MEMS, different types of integration, and flipchip bumping. The MEMS Symposium will be held May 20. For more information, visit http://www.meptec.org/meptec8thannualm.html.
