September 2, 2011 — Benedetto Vigna, group VP and GM of ST Microelectronics’ MEMS, Sensors, and High-Performance Analog Division, will keynote the iNEMI MEMS workshop. The meeting, September 15-16 in Brighton, UK, will bring together micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) industry and research communities to tackle MEMS challenges.
Vigna recently spoke at the 4th International Microtech/MEMS Conference in Korea on the future of MEMS.
The iNEMI and MEMS Industry Group (MIG) meeting is intended to set the priorities and direction for future industry-led collaborative programs. Other speakers hail from Bosch, Coventor, Fraunhofer IZM, imec, iNEMI, Léti, Tronics Group, Yole Développement and more.
Attendees will help identify major technology areas where MEMS reliability, testability, performance, and cost can be improved. Participants will then begin to define collaborative projects that iNEMI and other organizations can develop that will either partially or fully address the technology and supply chain gaps; forming action groups to define and execute the required industrial collaborative programs and research efforts.
