SiTime's timing with MEMS

As companies race to commercialize their MEMS resonator technologies, many challenges and questions remain.  We recently spoke with Dr. Kurt Petersen, a MEMS industry veteran who previously founded Cepheid and NovaSensor, about his latest start up SiTime and the company's MEMS based timing technology. 

SiTime has exclusively licensed key technology from Robert Bosch GMbH, which allows quartz timing functions to be integrated on standard silicon chips.

COMSOL's Multiphysics offers options, flexibility to MEMS designers

COMSOL recently released a MEMS module for its FEMLAB simulation software.  We recently spoke with Dr. John Dunec, the manager of the company's Palo Alto branch, about COMSOL current offerings in the MEMS area and its plans for the future.  We also asked Dr. Dunec about emerging MEMS applications that he thought had  promising prospects for growth over the next few years.

Radant MEMS President discusses RF switches

MEMS based switches for RF applications are the basic block for more complex RF MEMS architectures.  We recently spoke with Dr. Jean-Claude Sureau, President of Radant MEMS.
