MEMS: MAKING MICRO MACHINES is an overview of the manufacture and design of microelectromechanical systems. This video shows the fabrication, testing and packaging, and design of some of our most common MEMS devices. It features the fabrication of Hewlett-Packard’s thermal inkjet printhead and covers the testing and packaging of Texas Instrument’s digital micromirror devices. At Freescale Semiconductor we delve into the design process with a look at the creation of their sensors.

Running Time: 42 minutes

"I had the pleasure of watching MEMS: Making Micro Machines and found it a great educational tool for industry and academia alike. The interplay between the animation and real live scenarios provides an extraordinary view of MEMS technology."

Karen Lightman, Managing Director,
MEMS Industry Group
