Innovative MEMS Packaging for Future Technologies

Thursday, May 24, 2012 | 11:30 AM ET, 8:30 AM PT

This webinar will concentrate on three innovative research topics that may help your company improve its MEMS packaging.

Developed by the Center for Wireless Integrated MicroSensing and Systems at the University of Michigan, these new packaging technologies focus on:

  • Wafer bonding including field assisted gold silicon eutectic, solder based bonding, and parylene based wafer bonding.

  • Thin film packaging/sealing thin film electroplated metal packages (for both vacuum packaging and biomedical packaging applications.)

  • Mechanical and thermal isolation packages for inertial sensors. 

This webinar not only reflects the speakers’ research and experience but also reflects the work of Professor Khalil Najafi, Yogesh Gianchandani, and Ken Wise.

M2M Forum Webinar: Market Pull vs. Technology Push

Friday, April 27, 2012 | 11:30 AM ET, 8:30 AM PT

Using case studies and examples from a MEMS-specific point-of-view, this webinar will examine customer interface factors that can determine the development time from concept to production of MEMS enabled systems.  The speakers will set the stage for the discussions at M2M Forum with the end goal of helping the MEMS industry to commercialize at a LOWER cost and SHORTER time without reinventing the wheel and avoiding "overdesigning" and missing the market.

Original Webinar Date Tuesday, April 27, 2012. MIG members, download the slides in the MIG resource library.
