The Internet of Things (IoT) exemplifies how silicon-based technologies are transforming the world for human benefit. Through remote monitoring and control via internet-connected sensors, these advancements underscore the growing influence of microelectronics and microsystems in our daily lives. At the heart of this technological shift are semiconductors and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), which serve as critical enablers across sectors such as health, automotive, and consumer electronics. In this context, the mission of the Microelectronics and MEMS Symposium is to bring together scientists, technologists, and industry stakeholders interested in the design, simulation, modeling, fabrication, assembly, testing and packaging of micro- and nano-scale devices and circuits. The symposium will highlight advances in integrated circuits (ICs), Microelectronics Technology, Materials Science for Micro and Nanoelectromechanical Systems (MEMS/NEMS), and strategies for MEMS/NEMS packaging and integration. These developments are essential to support innovation in critical application areas, including flexible electronics, sensors, and IoT devices.

The Microelectronics and MEMS Symposium is focused on the integration of materials, processes, and design methodologies for the development of MEMS/NEMS devices and microelectronic systems. The symposium aims to promote innovation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the creation of accessible technology platforms to support research, education, and technological sovereignty in emerging semiconductor regions.
