What do you perceive as the biggest hurdle for adoption on MEMS by engineers:
(a) Lack of familiarity with MEMS-design tools; (b) Need for customization of MEMS devices; (c) Lack of design tools for electronic application of MEMS; (d) Few simulation models for MEMS devices; (c) Little understanding of MEMS capabilities and characteristics
Bob Scannell, Analog Devices
In the ... industrial/instrumentation market, I would say the biggest hurdle is in device calibration, followed by overall integration and test. In many cases, this is not just a hurdle, but a barrier.
