microelectromechanical system (MEMS)

microelectromechanical system (MEMS)
Miniature devices formed by combining mechanical parts and electronic circuits, typically on a semiconductor chip, with dimensions from tens to a few hundred micrometres (millionths of a metre).

Common applications for MEMS include sensors, actuators, and process-control units.
