Challenges in High Volume MEMS Manufacturing
Dr. Mark da Silva, Product Development Team Leader, Micromachined Products Division, Analog Devices, Inc.
Analog Devices (ADI) specializes in combining MEMS technology with signal conditioning, to convert, condition, and process real-world known phenomena, such as light, sound, temperature, motion, and pressure into electrical signals. As a Product Development Leader at Analog Devices, Mark da Silva is responsible for development of new MEMS inertial sensor products for medical & other high performance markets. Mark will share some of the experiences and challenges faced when using micro and nanotechnologies in the volume production of high performance sensors. The presentation will include topics such micro/nanostructure fabrication, Design for manufacturing and package level integration.
Since
2008, Dr. da Silva has been a Product Development Leader at Analog
Devices (Wilmington, MA) where he is responsible for development of new
MEMS inertial sensor products for medical and other high performance
markets. Dr. da Silva previously worked at Coventor Inc. (MEMS startup)
where he occupied several roles in applications, development and as
design center manager, as well as at Exponent Inc. where he served as a
technical consultant to the MEMS industry. Prior to joining industry in
the late 90’s, Dr. da Silva was a post-doctoral fellow and lecturer at
the University of Maryland, and has an M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in
Mechanical Engineering from The Johns Hopkins University, and an B.Tech
in Aeronautical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology
(IIT), Bombay. He recently co-authored a MEMS reference shelf series
book on “MEMS Reliability” (Springer).
The meeting will be held at Analog Devices, 804 Woburn Street, Wilmington, MA, in Building 6, opposite the Ray Stata Technology Center. The Starting time is 5:45 p.m.
Driving Directions: Take I-93, Exit 38 (Route 129 Wilmington). Go west on Route 129 (From I-93 southbound, at the end of the ramp, take a left; From I-93 northbound, at the end of the ramp, take a right). At the second set of traffic lights, take a left onto Woburn Street. Analog Devices is 1/4 mile on your left (East side of Woburn Street).
Stop at the guard station and provide your name; the guard will direct you to the Building 6 visitor parking area.
