Ian Miller, Connor Nace, Kexiang Yin

In this episode of Inside the Phone, host Connor Nace talks to Ian Miller and Ben Yin about Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS). Most people probably have never heard of the term before, yet MEMS occupy a central role in many modern electronic devices.  These roles include the accelerometers now found in most smartphones, airbag collision detection sensors, and ink jet printer heads.  Manufacturing devices that fit inside these space-confined areas, however, poses a challenge.  To find out the what, why, and how of MEMS technology, you’ll have to go Inside the Phone.
