For centuries, scientists and engineers have been making things bigger and better. Now some scientists are trying to make things smaller and better in hopes of solving some of the world's biggest problems. These scientists and engineers are working in specialties of micro engineering and nanotechnology to develop microscopic and atom-sized solutions in fields such as medicine, environmental pollution, and information technology.

MEMS: Making Micro Machines is an overview of the manufacture and design of microelectromechanical systems. This video shows the fabrication, testing and packaging, and design of some of our most common MEMS devices. It features the fabrication of Hewlett-Packard’s thermal inkjet printhead and covers the testing and packaging of Texas Instrument’s digital micromirror devices. At Freescale Semiconductor we delve into the design process with a look...
