MEMS Based Fuzing/Safety and Arming Systems
Abstract
Microelectromechanical Systems or MEMS is a fabrication technology for creating mechanical devices on micron scale (1x10(exp-6) meters). But MEMS is more than miniaturization. By combining, photolithography, deposition, patterning and etching a fabrication technology has resulted for the production full-assembled, integrated electromechanical systems on a scale once reserved for electronic integrated circuits (IC). As the first M of MEMS implies, individual features are on the micron scale that is 10(exp-6) meters but the resulting systems can be several millimeters in size.
