Title: STIMESI
1STIMESI
- Stimulation Action on MEMS and SiP
2What is Stimesi ?
- The STIMESI project belongs to the EUROPRACTICE
family - STIMESI stands for STIMulation. It is a 4 years
Integrated Project,funded by the EEG under 6th
Framework - Mission
- The goal of the STIMESI Stimulation Action is
to stimulate European universities and research
institutes to adopt MEMS and SiP technologies in
different ways
3Scope
- Target audience ?
- Teachers, professors
- Student
- Researcher
- Why ?
- In the more than Moore era, there will be
an increased demand for graduates with experience
in more than one domain (discipline)
4MEMS Design requirements
During the MEMS design process, one is confronted
with many more design and simulation tools than
is generally the case for IC design
- process development
- designkit-setup, DRC
- modelling (top-down)
- simulation, FEM/FEA
- failure analysis design (botom-up)
- drawing, layout, CAD
- programming, scripting, interfacing
- testing measurements
- documenting
- specialist/engineers of each domain
- customer
- assembly house
- testing partner
- physics
- disciplines
- players
- tasks
- electrical
- mechanical
- thermal
- optical
- fluidic
- chemical
- analog
- digital
- RF
- bio
- process
- reliability
- packaging
- testing
