From traditional applications (automotive, military...), the MEMS market is now expanding to high volume applications such as consumer electronics (gaming, mobile phone...). The MEMS ecosystem is evolving at the same time: fabless design houses and pure MEMS foundries are emerging. In this changing environment MEMS+IC co-design via System Level Simulation and data exchange between engineering designers is becoming highly critical.

Coventor, the leading provider of MEMS design-automation software, is organizing a 1-day seminar followed by a 1-day workshop to further explore this topic. During the seminar, leading MEMS experts will give their vision on challenges given by MEMS+IC and system simulation. A second day will provide a free-of-charge workshop on a new design platform called MEMS+TM. MEMS+ allows MEMS+IC co-design within existing widely used simulation tools, allowing true understanding of the device and control electronics performance.

Register for the 2-day MEMS seminar and workshop

Please select below which day/days you would like to register for. Please note, both days of the event are FREE-of-charge. *
