Accelerate Your Research, Development, and Manufacturing Efficiency

MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) is the technology to build very small devices, whose range is generally from a millimeter to a micrometer. NEMS (Nano Electro Mechanical Systems) is similar but its range is a nanometer. MEMS/NEMS device is the integrated device, on which movable parts, sensor, actuator, and electronic circuit are built by MEMS/NEMS technology.

Agilent Technologies offers several instruments to help the R&D activity of the MEMS/NEMS device.

Agilent can help you to establish more accurate device modeling, more efficient failure analysis, and better process by the solutions below.
