By 2012, MEMS makers will be shipping 8.1B units/year, and nearly half the $15.5B market will be consumer devices, according to a joint SEMI/Yole Développement study. Major market drivers will include silicon microphones, microdisplays, RF MEMS, and even microfluidics for biomedical applications. Meanwhile, severe cost pressures of consumer markets are driving device makers to smaller geometries, creating requirements -- and opportunities -- for new kinds of etch and clean technologies.
