subject: The NEMS Will Bring The Next Revolution Of Semiconductor Units [print this page] The Nano-Electromechanical System is known by few people now, but many people believe that it may play an important role in the future semiconductor industry. The mature MEMS has become different kinds of the sensor, and their applications have developed large market in the fashionable electronic products like iPhone. The MEMS is designed for the application of special units, while the Nano-Electromechanical System is able to provide the whole potential application projects.
The Nano-Electromechanical System is called by the crystallization of MEMS and nano technology. An expert points out that if the size of a component or an infrastructure is less than one micrometer and it is able to integrate with other machine parts, this system which contains these elements is called the NENS. Someone also maintains that the NEMS will bring the next revolution of miniaturization. The international electronics component meeting was held in America, and more than nine research institutes had published the theses about the Nano-Electromechanical System, including the memory of NENSCMOS. Actually, the IEEE has supported the meeting of NEMS early in the year of 2006. The time is ripe for action now; scientists can produce the new NEMS units with the techniques of CMOS process.
Like the other NEMS units, the NEMS has lower power consumption. But the NEMS has other advantages, for example, it has high speed and low dark current; it is compatible with other devices and can be applied in the adverse environment. The adverse environment includes the automation industry, industrial area, storage area and medical application. All these mean that the NEMS is not only used for the touch sensor in iPhone. When it comes to the units, scientists are developing the units of NEMS technique, memory units and the NEMS switch. The related integrated circuit WP7700C4PBC.
