"How fabrication services can aid CMOS and MEMS use in biomedical designs"
Infrastructures to provide access to custom integrated hardware manufacturing facilities are important because they allow Students and Researchers to access professional facilities at a reasonable cost, and they allow Companies to access small volume production, otherwise difficult to obtain directly from manufacturers. This paper is reviewing the most recent developments at CMP, focusing on the manufacturing of various kinds of MEMS. These MEMS are hardware vehicles for many BioMed applications. Various examples are provided in the paper. Such infrastructures may help the BioMed community the same way they helped the Microelectronics community at the time of the VLSI revolution. This paper is including portions of a paper presented at the 30th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society held in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, on August 20-24, 2008. These portions are reprinted with permission from IEEE. The conclusion of this extended paper includes statements for the BioMed community as well as statements on where manufacturing infrastructures like CMP should go, considering technical developments towards More Moore, More than Moore, as well as statements related to globalization.
