New MEMS opportunities in cell phones and tablets: What will be the new killer apps?
As the global MEMS industry is now driven by high volume consumer applications, there are still a limited number of MEMS products which benefit from this wave: motion sensors, microphones, microphones. But the MEMS industry keeps innovating, and many new types of MEMS start to be integrated in mobile devices: 6 to 9DOF inertial combos, RF MEMS tuners, auto-focus…. The global growth in smartphones and tablets as well as the integration of novel functions means that the future is bright for consumer MEMS!

Teardowns and cost analyses: MEMS microphones technical and cost review
With an annual growth rate of 24%, MEMS Microphone market is growing very fast recently. Mobile phones in general and especially smart phone applications are driving the market,  but other consumer electronics devices such as notebooks and tablets are adopting more and more MEMS microphones as well. We will review six MEMS microphones supplied by Knowles, AAC Acoustics, Akustica, Analog Devices, STMicroelectronics and Epcos. The MEMS microphones will be compared in terms of structure, package and MEMS technology to provide an overview on the state of the art in the design and manufacturing of various MEMS microphones.
