Advantages and limitations
Advantages:
� Small systems tend to move or stop more quickly due to low mechanical
inertia.
� It is thus ideal for precision movements and for rapid actuation.
� Miniaturized systems encounter less thermal distortion and mechanical
vibration due to low mass.
� Miniaturized devices are particularly suited for biomedical and aerospace
applications due to their minute sizes and weight.
� Small systems have higher dimensional stability at high temperature due
to low thermal expansion.
� Smaller size of the systems means less space requirements.

Advantages and limitations
� This allows the packaging of more functional components in a single
device.
� Less material requirements mean low cost of production and transportation.
� Ready mass production in batches.
� Higher surface to volume ratio.
Limitations:
� Friction is greater than inertia. Capillary, electrostatic and atomic forces as
well as stiction at a micro-level can be significant.
� Heat dissipation is greater than heat storage and consequently thermal
transport properties could be a problem or, conversely, a great benefit.

Advantages and limitations
� Fluidic or mass transport properties are extremely important. Tiny flow spaces
are prone to blockages but can conversely regulate fluid movement.
� Material properties (Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio, grain structure) and
mechanical theory (residual stress, wear and fatigue etc.) may be size dependent.
� Integration with on-chip circuitry is complex and device/domain specific. Lab-
on-a-chip systems components may not scale down comparably.
� Miniature device packaging and testing is not straightforward. Certain MEMS
sensors require environmental access as well as protection from other
external influences.
� Testing is not rapid and is expensive in comparison with conventional IC
devices.
� Cost – for the success of a MEMS device, it needs to leverage its IC batch
fabrication resources and be mass-produced. Hence mass-market drivers must
be found to generate the high volume production.5
