SEMI Standards LogoAbout the SEMI MEMS / NEMS Technical Committee

The charter of the MEMS / NEMS Technical Committee is to develop standards for MEMS & NEMS devices that cannot be handled by existing technical committees. Current topics include Wafer Bonding Alignment Targets; Step-Height Measurements of Thin, Reflecting Films using an Optical Interferometer; and Ultra High Purity Microscale Fluidic Systems for Use in Scalable Process Environments.

MEMS Task Forces

Task Force Name: MEMS Packaging

Determine properties of MEMS Packaging for which standardization will improve manufacturability, reliability and design quality. Determine appropriate metrics for dimensions, physical, chemical, electrical and interface properties, and other packaging properties of MEMS devices as required.

 

Task Force Name: MEMS Microfluidics

Develop guidelines for generic fluidic I/O design and fabrication that can reduce redundant engineering effort and lead to increased manufacturability, testing and operation. This should include standards for performance, practices, and assembly of microscale fluidic components.

 

Task Force Name: MEMS Material Characterization

Develop Test Methods and related documents for characterizing properties of materials used in MEMS devices.

         

Task Force Name: Terminology

Assemble the various terms, abbreviations, acronyms, and symbols used in MEMS Technology into a comprehensive terminology standard.

 

Task Force Name: Wafer Bond

Investigate and develop standards for application of wafer-bonding for MEMS. Define dimensions, tolerances, locations and other attributes of on-wafer bonding targets employed in direct-wafer and other wafer bonding applications in MEMS manufacturing. Create related bond test methods.
