Opportunities in MEMS:  Growing the Market with New Applications, Integrated Functions, and Faster Time to Volume

Yole Développment projects the _$7B MEMS market will pick up by the second half and see 14% CAGR through the next four years, as companies continue to develop new applications for MEMS devices. But profitable manufacture of these MEMS for volume markets increasingly means delivering functions, not just devices--requiring new emphasis on software functionality, innovative packaging, and finding ways to move beyond a unique manufacturing process for each product. Leading MEMS makers give their take on these issues and potential solutions.
