August 18, 2011 — Benedetto Vigna, group VP and GM of ST Microelectronics (STM, ST) MEMS, Sensors, and High-Performance Analog Division, will keynote the 4th International Microtech/MEMS Conference on August 24. Vigna will present "The Future of MEMS and Challenges to Success."
The International Microtech/MEMS Conference co-locates with MICROTech World 2011, August 24-26, at KINTEX in Korea.
Listen to Vigna speak on MEMS traps to avoid and the MEMS metamorphosis here
Vigna will address the challenges that new MEMS applications — context awareness, positioning and remote monitoring, etc. — pose to MEMS suppliers. He also will share STM’s approach to these new possibilities. ST MEMS sensors are used in consumer devices, as motion-based user interface components for smartphones, game consoles, and more. ST acceleration sensors are used for free-fall protection in laptop hard-disk drives. Automotive OEMs integrate ST’s MEMS into airbags and enhanced navigation systems.
STMicroelectronics will also showcase MEMS technologies for automotive, smart mobile devices, and healthcare applications at MICROTech World Booth D-21, Hall 5, KINTEX (Korea International Exhibition Center).
STMicroelectronics makes semiconductor products for multimedia convergence and power applications. Further information on ST can be found at http://www.st.com.
