MEMS Resources on WEB

Compiled by AEG

Here is a comprehensive list of MEMS resources that proves to be helpful time to time.

A number of portals specializes in MEMS ,some of them a listed below

1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MEMS

Any exploration in the internet starts from the wikipedia. The description of MEMS here is not very thorough but it serves the purpose. The links associated to these documents are useful.

2. http://www.memsnet.org/mems/

This portal is entirely dedicated to the MEMS community. It gives a basic overview about MEMS and Nanotechnology and provides a comprehensive idea about the micro fabrication processes. This site provides a link to the founder company https://www.mems-exchange.org/ , which is a contract foundry service. The job board and the discussion groups is the main attraction of this site whereas the news and event sections are regularly update which makes this site very attractive. While browsing this site, don’t overlook a menu on the right side, as it contains important information. The material database is particularly very useful to researchers.For more information their very rich link section is highly recommended.

http://www.memsnet.org/links/

3. http://www.allaboutmems.com

This is a community oriented website with full range of information available on MEMS. MEMSCAP, Inc. a foundry service initiated this site, the content of this site is non-commercial, but apparently the sections are full of old links and the site is not maintained regularly.

4. http://www.memsindustrygroup.org

This site is an excellent place to take a peek at the MEMS industry. The news and events section very informative. The site is well maintained on a daily basis and the member section looks very appealing. Unfortunately the membership is not for single users but only for companies.

5. http://www.memsinvestorjournal.com/

This is a free weekly newsletter which publishes stories , inventions and interviews for the MEMS community. The stories by the categories helps in tracking the advances in each field of the MEMS technology.

6. http://memscyclopedia.org/

This site intends to give an introduction to MEMS (not so short introduction). The best thing about this site is a free book with 5 chapters on the MEMS technology). The book is download able.

7. http://www.trimmer.net/

This site is hosted by Dr. Willium Trimmer, Founding Editor of the Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems. It contains a lot of links, but unfortunately it seems the site is not updated regularly. The list of MEMS companies was found to be very helpful.

8. http://www.memsuniverse.com/

This is a blog which records the latest inventions in MEMS technology
