چکیده
MEMS, or Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems are chips that are made in semiconductor fabs that combine electronic functions and mechanical actions. MEMS devices can sense and control making them valuable for numerous applications that include ink jet printers, automotive motion sensors and even digital projectors. But MEMS can also be used in the medical field to measure blood pressure within the body and detect ions. MEMS analyzers can be used to perform biological tests and even sequence DNA. This paper will describe the rapidly emerging field of BioMEMS and discuss present and future applications.
