The MEMS Industry Group (MIG), a trade association representing the MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) and microstructures industries, has released its "2005 Industry Report -- Focus on Accelerated Lifetime Test (ALT)," on research including ALT findings and recommendations from working groups at its Metric 2004 conference. The groups noted a critical lack of MEMS characterization tools and subsequent impact on the successful commercialization of MEMS devices, especially for smaller companies. An in-depth analysis of an industry-wide MEMS survey on ALT revealed that a vast majority of MEMS...Read full article
