Automotive Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems Sensors are computer systems that control and maintain the entire mechanical, electronic and electrical systems of the automobile. These systems are a combination at the nano-scale into NEMS (nanoelectromechanical systems) and nanotechnology. The application of MEMS inertial sensors has unlocked various desirable features that are among the most common features in automobiles these days.
The global market for automotive MEMS sensors is anticipated to reach US$ 2.41 billion in 2022 and to grow at a CAGR of 15% to reach US$ 9.75 billion by the end of the assessment period (2022-2032). The global adoption of technologically improved cars is responsible for the market’s expansion.
Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems for Automobiles (MEMS) The entire mechanical, electronic, and electrical systems of the car are managed and controlled by sensors, which are computer systems. These systems combine NEMS (nanoelectromechanical systems) and nanotechnology at the nanoscale.
Several applications have become well-known because they have become universal in automobiles. Certain applications that have the most advanced features are mainly found in high-end models, however, they are destined to become standard. Automotive MEMS sensors can be classified based on functions such as crash sensing for airbag control, vehicle dynamic control, rollover detection, antitheft systems, electronic parking brake systems, vehicle navigation systems and others. Automotive MEMS sensors mainly consist of a microprocessor/central unit that processes data and several microsensors that interact with the surroundings. Commonly used materials for automotive MEMS sensor systems/semiconductor device fabrication are silicon, polymers and metals such as gold, nickel, aluminium, copper, tungsten, chromium, titanium, platinum, etc.
