MEMS Industry Group 2001 Annual Report
The MEMS Industry Group is a nonprofit trade association of 22 member
companies, established, in part, to “enable the exchange of non-proprietary infor-
mation among members” and “provide reliable industry data that furthers the
development of technology.” Its annual report for 2001 discusses the key drivers
and challenges expected by the industry over the next 20 years.

The committee
briefly summarizes the findings here.
Starting with materials and fabrication approaches developed for the micro-
electronics industry, multiple miniaturized electronic and mechanical subsystems
are integrated into a single microsystem. MEMS devices find applications in
diverse industries because of their ability to perform complex functions and their
