Abstract
MEMS technology combines micromachining and integrated circuit fabrication technologies to produce highly reliable MEMS transducers. This paper presents an overview of MEMS transducers applications, particularly in automotive and aerospace industries, which includes inertia sensors for safety, navigation, and guidance control, thermal anemometer for temperature and heat-flux sensors in engine applications, MEMS atomizers for fuel injection, and micromachined actuators for flow control applications. Design examples for the devices in above mentioned applications are also presented and test results are given.
