Key to their platform is the physical separation of the MEMS sensor from the electronics. The researchers independently fabricate the sensor and the electronics, optimize them separately, and then put them together. The researchers describe the interconnect challenges and their two solutions.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EWith the growth of the MEMS technology market\u2013almost doubling between 2004 and 2009\u2013this work in 3D integration should be of special interest.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ETo listen to or download this podcast on the ELECTRO IQ web site, visit \u003CA href=\u0022http:\/\/www.electroiq.com\/index\/podcasts\/podcast-display\/podcasts\/solid-state-technology\/TECHCON10\/cmos-based_-mems_electronics.html\u0022\u003Ehttp:\/\/www.electroiq.com\/index\/podcasts\/podcast-display\/podcasts\/solid-state-technology\/TECHCON10\/cmos-based_-mems_electronics.html\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"ECE Associate Professor Muhannad Bakir and his Ph.D. student Hyung Suk Yang of Georgia Institute of Technology, discuss their TECHCON 2010 paper, \u0022Marriage of CMOS and MEMS using Flexible Interconnects and TSVs.\u0022","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Muhannad Bakir and Hyung Suk Yang discuss their TECHCON 2010 pap"}],"uid":"27241","created_gmt":"2010-09-20 00:00:00","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:08:15","author":"Jackie Nemeth","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2010-09-20T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2010-09-20T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/","title":"Georgia Tech"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu\/","title":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.nrc.gatech.edu\/","title":"Nanotechnology Research Center"}],"groups":[{"id":"1255","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"categories":[{"id":"129","name":"Institute and Campus"},{"id":"134","name":"Student and Faculty"},{"id":"144","name":"Energy"},{"id":"145","name":"Engineering"},{"id":"149","name":"Nanotechnology and Nanoscience"},{"id":"135","name":"Research"}],"keywords":[{"id":"4128","name":"CMOS"},{"id":"109","name":"Georgia Tech"},{"id":"2557","name":"mems"},{"id":"166855","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"id":"12094","name":"TSVs"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cstrong\u003EJackie Nemeth\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ESchool of Electrical and Computer Engineering\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu\u0022\u003EContact Jackie Nemeth\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E404-894-2906\u003C\/strong\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
