Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are miniaturized devices that combine electrical and mechanical components on a small scale. These devices typically range in size from a few micrometers to a few millimeters and can contain sensors, actuators, and other components that interact with their environment. MEMS technology is used in a wide range of applications, including biomedical devices, telecommunications, automotive sensors, and consumer electronics. MEMS devices are typically fabricated using techniques similar to those used in the semiconductor industry, such as photolithography and etching, allowing for mass production at a relatively low cost. The field of MEMS is constantly evolving, with researchers continually developing new and innovative devices for a variety of applications.
