Twenty years ago, MEMS inkjet print heads were widely used in printers, replacing traditional mechanical print heads, making companies like HP and Canon giants in the MEMS field.Ten years ago, with the rise of smartphones, MEMS microphones became widely used, replacing traditional electret microphones. Several MEMS companies in China, such as GoerTek, AAC Technologies, and … Read more
Ferric chloride (FeCl₃) plays a crucial role in the manufacturing of printed circuit boards (PCBs), especially in the etching process, where it acts as a powerful etchant to selectively remove copper foil, thereby forming the desired circuit patterns. This application is not only one of the core steps in PCB production but is also widely … Read more
A low-cost 8 x 8 infrared sensor designed by a prominent figure in the school, who has been working on MEMS devices for many years. Recently, he started a company, and after half a year, the samples are finally available for me to play with: First, let’s look at the manual; it is a product … Read more
From automatically labeling beverage bottles to precise sampling by Mars rovers, every “action” of modern automation systems relies on the “keen eyes” of sensors. If we compare an automated production line to the human body, the controller acts as the brain, the actuators as limbs, and the sensors as the “sensory organs” spread throughout. This … Read more
