WHAT: “Optimizing Manufacturing for Future MEMS Growth Panel,” hosted by Karen Lightman, managing director of MEMS Industry Group. Ms. Lightman and leading members of the microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) supply chain will explore pragmatic solutions for optimizing MEMS manufacturing for high-volume production—particularly when there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ path to mass production. Topics will include: - How can MEMS suppliers reduce development time and cost for complex integrated MEMS devices?
- What do they need from equipment and material suppliers? And what can they expect from assembly houses?
- What are the hurdles to achieving competitively priced mass-produced MEMS devices?
- How have MEMS end users in consumer electronics, automotive and other markets catalyzed change in MEMS manufacturing?
WHEN: July 13, 2010, 12:10-12:35 PT WHERE: SEMICON West, Extreme Electronics Stage: South Hall of Moscone Center, San Francisco, CA WHO: Moderator Karen Lightman, managing director, MEMS Industry Group, with panelists: - Asif Chowdhury, director, MEMS/Sensor Group, Analog Devices, Inc.
- John Foster, CEO/founder, Innovative Micro Technology (IMT)
- Yan Loke, vice president of engineering, Micralyne
- John McKillop, Ph.D., managing director, Tekton Consulting
