New Directions in MEMS for Wireless Harsh-Environment Sensors
New Directions in MEMS for Wireless Harsh-Environment Sensors D. Peroulis In this talk we will present some important challenges in MEMS and new methods for addressing them. We seek solutions at the fabrication technology, device, and subsystem levels. As an example, we will present inherently-reliable harsh-environment MEMS sensors for the health monitoring of aircraft engines. These sensors have
